Presumably a wind up?

Definitely but the crazy thing is that the question has to be asked.

Kamala will win the popular vote in a landslide.

She won't get trump voters to vote for her but those who were stuck between Doddery Joe or Mental Case Trump and choosing not to vote may be won round.

Majority of Americans. Trump lost the 'popular vote' in 2016 (i.e more Americans voted for Clinton), but he still won the election.

Trump's VP pick is a complete wild card. He would have done better with a classic conservative yes-man like Pence.

 I suspect a lot is to do with her not appearing to being a massive dick (although there is time) . I think even some Trump supporters must think that he's losing the plot a bit, in his recent interviews, he really isn't coming across very well, and he very rarely every mentions anything of note. 

There is a long way to go yet though, so it could still go wrong for her yet. 

I know a month or two ago that you were convinced the daft yanks world be voting with their "hip pocket nerve" - presumably you think folk aren't as bothered about that now? 

I just think in the current toxic climate of polarisation, woke will beat bloke.

I would be delighted to see life sentences for those trafficking children. And much bigger for those smuggling drugs on a huge scale. We’re definitely too soft.

Death sentences are a daft idea though.

 And you have to also look and invest in sorting the underlying issues for drug use.

Trump’s climate policies are a death sentence to us all though.

It’s like some weird virus has infected people from about 2014 onwards. When Thatcher was targeting English football hooligans and indeed just fans in the late 80’s and early 90’s and supporting European police in clubbing them, I suspect that she was in fact ‘woke’.

He's got a very limited grasp of banter.

"how long have you worked here?"

reply

"ok."

"how long have you worked here?"

reply

"ok."

and repeat until  you run out of staff.

couple of years ago he announced the death penalty for (some form of) drug offences.

It was pointed out to him he pardoned a woman convicted of said offences before he left office.

But they wanted to hang Pence, maybe thats why the VP pool was a bit small

£55M placed on their election so far.

Exactly the same odds ATM 2.04 on the exchanges.
