I think that is correct. And we need to be back in the team, not standing on the touchline.

Stormy Daniels coming up on ITV, she must be shitting like a big black Alsatian, what price her being ‘found’ dead in a hotel room somewhere, they did it to Marilyn Monroe 60 years ago

One of the things he did change, Roe v Wade, is a pretty big change. Women are dying as a result of that.
Compare the number of events they both did.

In fairness, Trump did something like 900 rallies.
Young man, pick yourself off the ground.
The only crumb I can add is that this should be the catalyst for Europe (including UK) to be strong together, militarily and economically. Because, if Russia takes Ukraine and then lines up on the borders with Poland or the Baltics... I could see Trump undermining NATO resistance.Morning everybody, well this isn't what I wanted to wake up to
So George Bernard Shaw was right: "The 100% American is 99% idiot".
If I can draw a crumb of comfort, at least it looks like it won't be close so there won't be the post-election violence we saw last time. I appreciate that's pretty thin pickings, but it's all I've got. Maybe it won't be as bad as we feared. Maybe the grown-ups can reign him in.
Heigh ho, "It is what it is" as someone once said.

Good luck with that
With Trump’s UK cheerleader gathering momentum in Westminster and beyond.
I think what we all want to know is how @Crawley Dingos live stream went?

’Palace Susanna’ now asking ‘what went wrong’ on ITV?
Speculation they held on to Biden too long and never selected a legitimate candidate via the Primaries.

Hardly speculation. Appalling choice who was never even chosen.
I didn’t think this morning could get any worse, then this mental image entered my consciousness and…

On CNN when they were drilling down into the counties of each state Harris was doing OK until c 3am but I wonder if these were the early votes / postal votes count skewed things. Clearly people were rocking up on the day and voting Trump, especially independents.

Imposing a charisma vacuum doesn't help, ignoring and talking down to minority voters certainly didn't help. I doubt this will lead to much democratic introspection they will do what they did last time, blame progressives, the left and Jill Stein.
According to her bio - DC. 27. Dem Strategist.
It's really not that much of a mystery why they lost

Surly he won't be 'convicted' for long. He'll have a word with the people with the power to pardon him and he'll be squeaky clean before you can say "Bigly witch hunt".

Yes, he did back in 2016-20.
Until he picks his Cabinet, we don’t know who will be in the running for top jobs. Tbh I‘m not sure there are even that many grown ups left in the GOP but we can be sure he’ll surround himself with sycophants until they too find him impossible to work for and maybe then they will start to freeze him out as his ‘top picks’ did in his first term.
For me, the real worry is he’ll give an inordinate amount of access and influence to far right people like Elon Musk who will support his autocratic leadership style.
