Re: The US Election Thread...
Anyone thinking that the security scare at the Trump rally was a manufactured? It fits in too neatly with with false "truther" card Trump is playing. His Trump card.

Re: The US Election Thread...
FBI email stuff never looked like keeping Clinton out of the oval office, in reality she was always way to far ahead of trump.
However it might make a crucial difference in determining control of the senate.
Before the email case reopened the democrats had some real momentum in that area and having a democrat president and a democrat senate she wouldn't have been as hampered as Obama has been.

The down tick in the predicted outcome chart coincides neatly with the reopening of the FBI investigation

Somebody in the crowd shouted out that the Republican fella who was only holding up a 'Republicans against Trump' poster had a gun, so the secret service agents took the appropriate action.
I'm sure there is a job waiting for you at the BBC with the way you only tell half the story (only kidding old bean :biggrin:)

I was referring merely to the protestor's action and not the reaction of someone in the crowd which prompted the Secret Service being involved.

I'll take a punt on that being the nightowl TruBlue. Can you confirm if he wears pantomime slippers, the type that curls upwards at the toes?
Off up the wooden hill now. Something massive and world-changing will happen today. Take note as I'm rarely wrong.

Re: The US Election Thread...
Clinton's odds are generally 1-5, Trump is 4-1.
I think we can all agree that this has been a bizarre election. It seems an awful lot of people will vote according to who they hate the least.

I imagine there will be no scenes like with Obama.
Hundreds of thousands cheering on his inauguration.
Optimism everywhere.
Usually it is an exciting time, after the USA election. This'll just be depressing.
Last time I stayed up all night. I doubt I will today.

Re: The US Election Thread...
Perhaps it's the type of sites I visit, but the comments at my regular haunts are 95% pro Trump. I ended up at the Huffington Post to read an article the other day. I'm used to reading slanted MSM stuff but that one was so absurdly biased that not even the BBC would publish it. There was, I think, 1,200 reader comments on it, and I spent 10 minutes scrolling through them before giving up on finding anyone who wasn't going to vote for Clinton.
Just like many constituencies in this country, a lot of states in the USA always vote the same way for ideological reasons regardless of the candidates' merits. I say ideological when it's really 'who'll give me the most free dosh.'
I'd say there's a 1% chance that Trump's a real alternative, so contrary to popular opinion it will make no difference who wins.

I expect it's because the websites you go on are full of conspiracy kooks on them. Trump seems to be the king of the conspiracy at the moment so hence 95% of them voting for him.

Bloody hell, has it taken this long for the penny to drop?
This is why it's always been so ridiculous to hear you talk about the Alternative News. Just as the Guardian and the Mail have very different views in mainstream, you can find Alternative News sites from across the spectrum too. People think that their view is more widespread than it really is because their social media is full of what they want to hear. What you're experiencing is no different, as you found when you went to Huffington.

No, that Huffington Post piece was pure propaganda. The comments must have been filtered for there not to have any dissenting voices. I'd link it here but I cleared months of internet history yesterday. Something else it had was incredible editor's notes at the end of the article just to hammer home how supposedly dangerous Trump was.
Here's an article they published yesterday which has the same editor's note at its end. Take a look then try and contend that it's anything other than ridiculous tosh. I've seen Huffington Post journalists interviewed on the BBC for their insights. Even TruBlue wouldn't describe this as objective. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0aac624863e02

I haven't read the article and I haven't read your 95% Trump articles, but I would suggest that whatever you think applies to one side applies to both.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the propaganda element that either group is being exposed to, and whether their beliefs are obtained through manipulation or freewill, truth or lies etc.
