It seems Biden hates the UK and at the moment looks favourite for him to win. Trump has his faults, but better the devil you know. I'd rather have him as a friend to our country then an enemy.

I can hear them now 'who ever wins the special relationship will remain'. Yeah right. What special relationship?

Trump or Trumpism has already won.
Anything less than a major rejection of his divisive form of politics would see a return to the status quo.
Whatever the ultimate result now, Trumpism will survive into the next election.

By my maths, I make Trump a narrow winner in the electoral college but votes are still to be counted so it will be close either way.

Stephen, I’ll give you 5/1 about Biden getting into the white house cos the Devil looks home for all money in my book.

I think Trump is a despicable creature but like you I would rather have him than Biden…. love him or despise him Trump seems to have made good decisions on the economy and let’s not forget that it was him who coined the phrase “fake news” which has to a more or lesser extent proved to be true, especially on the international stage, China etc.

I think America needed Trump’s “cut out the chaff” no nonsense approach. time will tell as to whether he can dodge the bullets coming his way.

As barney says it'll be a close call.

I'm hoping it doesn't come down to just 1

The USA election hasn’t quite worked out for the Dems as planned has it.
I predict a riot!

Whatever the outcome it shows that the US is still a very divided country, and I am not sure that Joe Biden is the best option to provide any sort of unification although probably a bit better than Trump.

Looks like Trump is trying to subvert democracy

But the Donald is a major Twitter user, surely you must take some credence from his tweets?

Who ever would have thought it? Subvert democracy in this country? Never!!!

Fortunately for the country, they didn’t get away with it despite every dirty trick in the book.

Back in the States, it’s going right to the wire.
All that’s sure is that a rich old guy, backed by big business will be the victor (or not)

My friend is a practice manager in a GP's surgery. From what she's been saying, they literally wouldn't be able to cope with a mass vaccination programme being thrust upon them at a few weeks notice.

As December is 26 days away, and a vaccine has not yet been approved for use, I remain sceptical about an imminent roll out of a vaccine.

That will doubtless be the case for some Trusts where there is a record of incompetence, meanwhile other Trusts will cope admirably as was indeed the case with the recent Flu jab program.

I thought that the vaccine rollout plans had been underway for the last couple of months
