HappyG(rrr) Nov 2016 5:26pm, 8 Nov 2016 26,060 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) bbc.co.uk Reasonable break down by BBC (can't always say that) of both candidates position on a range of topics? I'm liking her more and terrified of Trump even further! G
Wriggling Snake Nov 2016 5:41pm, 8 Nov 2016 13,597 posts	0 Wriggling Snake This is quite a read but shows Clinton's policy record, I don't see too much in there that's bad, and is actually agrees with the BBC stuff... en.wikipedia.org as I said takes a bit of reading, of course, there'll be a republican senate, so she has a huge problem. I forgot to mention, I won't be watching/listening, first test v India will be on TMS, far more important.
Jambomo Nov 2016 5:44pm, 8 Nov 2016 6,032 posts	0 Jambomo I think that's the key point - neither of the are really desirable candidates as president but Clinton at least has developed policies and knows what the job entails. Trump is simply a destroyer - attacks everything without any solutions to the things he says are problems.
Chrisull Nov 2016 6:12pm, 8 Nov 2016 10,198 posts	0 Chrisull Hillary tacks to the left of Bernie (let alone Trumpkins) on immigration and gun control. HappyG you wanted some evidence rather than feelings. Well the early voting returns in Nevada are bloomin' excellent and in Florida are looking good. politico.com And here's an article on potentially this year's Nate Silver - Sam Wang, a neuroscientist who called the election on October 18th - for Hillary, said it basically hasn't changed for months. wired.com His backers Huffington Post had a dingdong Twitter battle with Nate Silver, and then at the end of it all, Silver who's 538 site had been very strong on Trump's chances matches Wang's map exactly, except for North Carolina which Wang says is toss up and Nate says has turned Democrat in the last 48 hours. It's compelling, but of course in 12 hours time it might be all crap and we might be saying what do neuroscientists know about elections.
postieboy Nov 2016 6:15pm, 8 Nov 2016 3,914 posts	0 postieboy PtB - I'm observing the general consensus from America. Hillary is the embodiment of an increasingly despised establishment, Trump is a horrible wank puppet who should never have been made Republican candidate. It says a lot for their party delegates that he is where he is. I personally like Clinton, I always liked Bill despite his indiscretions and find her intelligent and authoritative. For a country that elected George W Bush twice, I'm not discounting any result.
zp Nov 2016 2:52am, 9 Nov 2016 61 posts	0 zp Well, betfair currently has Trump as favourite to win at ~1.86 (somewhere between 9/5 and evens in old money). Probably not an indicator to put that much faith in, but still an indicator. Closer than I was expecting. 538 still has Clinton at 73%, and they're massive nerds, so I'm going with them.
zp Nov 2016 2:55am, 9 Nov 2016 62 posts	0 zp Er, and down again to 1.66. This must be folk wangling money trading.
zp Nov 2016 3:10am, 9 Nov 2016 63 posts	0 zp Down to 1.34. That's like a 75% chance of a Trump presidency. Googles for survival bunker pack belongings
