Trump to declare himself the victor on Tuesday - Election Night Part 2 - US Presidential Election

Mail on Sunday: Reports " Trump 'plans to declare victory on Tuesday night if it appears he's ahead of Biden - even if crucial states haven't started counting millions of mail-in ballots' "

Lets Get Real:

Even POTUS must KNOW that to declare himself the victor on the night before most of the votes are counted is a MAD IDEA, then to claim if the votes go against him that its FRAUD.  One just hopes that a big Biden win ends all that talk, it would look BAD for Trump and for his political legacy, there are other Trumps want to run for public office.  As the Democrats go on and on about, also CNN, a lot of mail in voting will not be checked on the night or even days later, thus if it is a close election ( one has doubts about that ) then they count.  POTUS would look crazy if he stated he had won and then LOST.  The transitional period would be a nightmare, the election could be thrown in to the Courts.

COVID -19 Update 1 - Lockdown Phase 2

Sky News: Reports " Coronavirus: England's month-long lockdown could be extended, says Michael Gove...The leading Tory frontbencher says it would be "foolish" to predict what will happen with the pandemic over the next four weeks. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus England will go NOW have a 2nd lockdown, also the furlough scheme will go on in till December.  The costs of COVID - 19 in lives has been great, on the whole older people with underlying conditions are the main group to suffer.   One the economic side, the young have been either been sacked from jobs in pubs etc or are on furlough, the cost the UK Treasury makes the eyes water.  Next year the Chancellor will want to put up taxes to pay back for the costs of COVID- 19, that is based on there being a vaccine early next year.   This does raise an interesting question, Wales is supposed to come out of its circuit  break on the 9th of November, will that still happen, one does not have to be a genius to work out that some people from England with 2nd homes in Wales might fancy a break from COVID - 19 by coming to Wales, will we close the borders.

US Election Night for Geeks - US Presidential Election 2020

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.49pm post the following on the election on Tuesday, " And with the influx of postal voting this year, it's also a confusing one. Different states have different rules for how - and when - to count postal ballots, meaning there will be large gaps between them in terms of reporting results.  "

Lets Get Real:

If you're a political geek then you will be watching to see how Florida and Ohio goes, if either or both go for Biden then you can switch channel to watch something else, the election is OVER, Biden will be the 46th President of the United States.  There has been a massive surge in early voting and by post, it can be argued since Democrats vote early that the votes will be mostly Democrats, thus on the day of the election, Republicans will vote, one does not see how Republican voting will change the outcome, the Trump base is around 46%, in nearly ALL polls Biden has over 50% support.  All the polls would have to be WRONG, thus it can be taken for granted that Biden will WIN, he will keep the House and regain control of the Senate.  Trump's biggest weakness is TRUMP, he has to be at the centre of attention, goes mad if others get more TV air time.  They will be writing books about Trump for ages, he will be up there with Nixon, the most complex men ever to sit in the Oval Office, but he lacks Nixon's intelligence, let's recall that Nixon won 49 States in 1972 and he had Vietnam to deal with and the breaking at the Watergate.
