It's shifted more than a little.

Trump was ahead against Biden, then against Kamala it's been nip and tuck either way until suddenly, for no apparent reason, Trump became a really strong favourite. There was nothing to point to that change - why had people not backed him when he was odds against, but then they decide to back him when he was a strong favourite? There hadn't been a debate or anything in his favour, there hadn't been a change in the polls, he just suddenly became a really strong favourite.

The most obvious answer is that people like Musk chucked a load of money on him, in order to influence people's voting decision. But now the odds are returning towards even as people take advantage of the generous odds available for Kamala.
It wasn’t sudden. Harris went to about 1.8 post debate, but then gradually drifted out to 2.5 over the subsequent 4-5 weeks. She has shortened a little bit in the last 24 hours to 2.25, presumably after that Iowa poll.

‘All I want is a good mic’ -

Trumps performs air oral sex on the mic stand, says ‘damn’, ‘cr*p’ and ‘a*rse’, rips mic off podium and asks audience if they want to see him ‘knock the hell out of people backstage’




So much rage and anger - he drags the whole democratic process of electing the next POTUS into the gutter - November 5 will not be the end of the process to decide who will regain the White House, it will go on until the electoral votes are cast on 17 December and certified on January 6. In the meantime, Trump‘s sole aim is to disrupt and interfere with the process like a far worse adult version of a child who acts out in class because he is bored, has learning difficulties and is bedded in to attention-seeking, histrionic behaviour. The more Harris looks like winning, the worse his behaviour will become.

How ever did this deeply, deeply flawed character become the favourite for 50% of America to have as their President?

It’s unreal.

It's no surprise to me that even the people working for him want to shut him up

It’s unreal.

Because the average American is as flawed.

Trump landslide, do we need another thread?
Are you Spence in disguise ? He predicted MAGA would win with absolute certainty last time and then disappeared the day after. What was your previous incarnation on here ? I lose track of the Lazarus Set.

I don’t understand why they spend so bloody long in the build up, it’s almost like it’s an industry in itself - like where the hell does all the money go that is donated?

Perfectly good thread already running on the election with a poll too.
