Anyone see the Anthony Wiener doc on BBC4 last night? It was amazing, one of the most revealing political docs I've ever seen.

Literally, I imagine Grin

Nope, but gonna have to at some point now that you've mentioned it. I'm sure it would be fascinating. Apparently it was Hillary who pushed him and Huma together.

Biden's reaction when he was told that Weiner was the source of the email resurrection last week:

It would be similar to a President-elect dying before inauguration.

The President is elected when the Electoral College votes, not tomorrow. If the Pres-elect dies or declines after that, it is like a resignation/death in office and the VP-elect gets the job. If it is before, the party can nominate whoever they want. It's actually a bit more complicated than that, but neither has ever happened.

Incidentally, the EC votes in December but, for some antiquated reason, the votes don't get counted until 6 Jan, so there is uncertainty about whether the Pres is elected when the EC votes or the votes are counted, and what would happen if they died during that time.

If something happened to both the Pres and VP-elect, the Speaker of the House would be promoted - welcome President Ryan.

Not that it changes our life that much (unless The Don presses the red button lol), but does anyone actually want trump to win?

Ok I'll rephrase that, there will be people on here who do want trump to win, but is there anyone willing to admit that publicly?

First result will be tonight from Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, at one minute past midnight, Eastern Time, more than five hours before other polling stations open. They usually have less than a dozen voters, who all collect just before midnight and vote on the dot.

I'm not particulary fond of Clinton, she looks a really fake person whenever she's speaking and the smiles & waves are just as fake. I think I've began to like Trump, he does seem to want the best for USA, but is just too honest and often doesn't help himself. I could never ever vote for Clinton, but could see myself liking the trump train.

She looks fake, because she is pretty much, as are most career politicians, in my limited experience of seeing them. He's no better, and I think he was about 40% worse on the fact checking of both candidates during speeches/debates.

That said, she's not emotionally retarded, and in possession of a teenager's temperament. That is what I'd consider the biggest red flag for someone wanting to be running the most powerful nation on earth.

Pretty com that he has managed to get this far, or rather they both have, as they're terrible, terrible people, imo.

I don't think that having Trump as President would be as bad as we imagine. A number of his positions are to the left of mainstream Republicans and would be more socially responsible to our eyes. In areas where he didn't have a developed view, he has simply adopted the mainstream GOP position, so would be no better or worse than a traditional Republican President. On his headline policies, he'd get the irrelevant wall, but the more extreme ones would get tied up in Congress and never happen. The main tension would be around his isolationism, both anti-trade protectionism and non-intervention in world affairs, though it's hard to know to what extent either would come to pass.

I'm actually surprised, though, that you're not on the Trump train. I would have thought he was right up your and arbboy's street.

Heavy rain is likely in reliably Republican central Southern States tomorrow, but elsewhere is mainly expected to be okay weather-wise.

Why does ithe matter? Because bad weather is good news for Republican candidates. Their supporters tend to be more determined to turn up and are more likely to have their own transport. At the most extreme it is reckoned to have a 3-4% effect. Bad weather on Election Day was one more variable that cost Al Gore the 2000 election.
