will put up a big fuss if he loses? He has threatened to go to the Supreme Court to stop any late voting.

It was decidedly odd last night.
Biden had gone from 75% to win down to 25%. Leftie sites in the US were crying into their muesli and cursing the DNC. Even our Jim, if he's honest, thought Trump had won.
Then there was a strange lull where nothing moved for an hour or two. And then an avalanche of votes swept in for Biden.
Could have all been a startling coincidence, I suppose stranger things have happened.
I'd be happy enough to see Trump lose now. There'd probably be less bloodshed to begin with.
And we could have a sweepstake on how long Biden will last as President.
Trump is the original pigeon that you shouldn't play chess with
At the back of everyone's mind must be: What happens if Biden wins and fails to go the distance?
Not mine.

jackdaw, I can't see how Biden can go the distance as already he is having trouble remembering peoples names.
"He's clearly one of the world's sorest losers"

Well lets face it the Dems have some beating, they have been kicking up a fuss for the last four years!

Buts lets face it does anyone in the UK really care who wins, dont we have enough problems with our own useless leader?
// Even our Jim, if he's honest, thought Trump had won. //

I didn't go to bed feeling as confident as I had an hour earlier, at least.

I don't think that Biden's actual odds had dropped as low. Betting markets tend to move quicker, I suppose, than pre-election modelling -- for example, Trump's victory in Florida ruled out a Biden landslide, but not necessarily a Biden win of any kind.

Wish you'd stop with the implications of fraud, though. There's nothing in the patterns of when votes arrived over the count that was particularly shocking. Various states count early ballots at different times, and various demographics lean dramatically in one direction, so you'd expect to see surges for Biden or Trump as the night went on.

Imagine if the voting had stopped early in Texas, Ohio, and Florida, for example, when Biden was ahead. Biden was even leading in Missouri and Kansas at one point, because of such patterns. Somehow, I don't think Trump would have been quite as keen on declaring *those* states early.

In the meantime, we are still waiting for full results from seven states, of which four or five are still interesting, and right now it's still not out of the question that late votes lead to Trump just taking Michigan, Pennsylvania, and even (if his campaign is to be believed) Arizona. That would be enough for him to win after all.
Will he do the bidding of his Wall St backers as he has for 47 years or will he try to carry out the socialist policies as promised lately.
I predict a schism. (and a riot or two)
In 2004 it all depended on Ohio. When Bush took that he was home. They say in America that whoever wins Ohio wins the election. Trump has taken that.
I don't think it will matter what he (Biden) tries to do. The Republicans have the Senate. More likely that very little will happen for four years as the two parties continue to refuse to cooperate on anything.

That's kind of what I meant about an earlier comment about "everybody loses". The US is suffering from major political divisions, major divisions in all sorts of other ways too -- and a close win for Biden (or Trump, for that matter) does exactly nothing to address this. I'd have almost preferred a Trump landslide, in that sense (not really, but at least something so decisive forces radical change and allows the loser to reassess).
Who mentioned fraud.
I take my hat off to him, he got a 103% of the vote in 2 of those late states.
I don't know a lot about Biden but, for the sake of the people of the USA, I sincerely hope he wins. I fear Trump has severe mental health problems.
So it's a likely probability that the election will be decided by the courts

What a farce that will be
It's not a probability at all. Some say it's not even a possibility.
// I take my hat off to him, he got a 103% of the vote in 2 of those late states. //

No he didn't. Stop making stuff up.
"I fear Trump has severe mental health problems."

And you think poor old Biden doenst? Looks like pretty clear dementure to me, he should be at home enjoying what is left not propped up for the Dems. They should have found someone else who would have walked it. They have had four years to groom someone.
Joe Biden is set to win by the absolute narrowest of margins, 270-168 - that without needing to prevail in Pennsylvania and Georgia, but staying ahead everywhere else.
It may all, actually have come down to him gaining one of the Nebraska districts - a single delegate ...
270-268 (sigh)
"They have had four years to groom someone."

It doesn't work like that
You caught me out. I haven't got a hat.
