Probably just my paranoia —
‘Nurse!..Nurse? …come quick Bread is having a funny turn again!’
To be fair, it is only the USA’s electoral college that can officially announce the winner of the presidental election.
The media might be right but, conversely, a few things yet could still bite them on the bottom besides all the votes which still haven’t been counted in close-run states.
Look at Arizona as just one example: an estimated 70,000 votes still to count & Biden has a slim lead of around 17,000.
And besides, didn’t Biden himself say “‘When the count is finished, we believe we will be the winner’” and “every vote will be counted”?
You doubt the result?
You need to understand how American elections work. Trump is still president and the election is not over.
Some facts for you ^^^
I certainly do.
The good news for the republicans is that the left never think things through properly so when it comes to voter fraud it’s guaranteed they will have made a pigs ear of it.
I blame the media …right?
Come back on Jan 20 and tell me me that Biden wasn’t inaugurated
Is there a full moon tonight?
I’m right though vlad aren’t I
Read what I said.
Until the electoral college announces Biden as winner, officially he isn’t.
Have you not learned never to be certain of that which is not yet definite?
No
I revere you to the learned poster Bread
Bidens victory is an invention by the media
And for the leftie moon howlers, the Guardian confirms.
OOhhHH I don’t think I’ve ever been revered before!
I have no idea why you include the quote you do in my reply to you; it is of no relevance whatsoever.
You two carry on about that, but keep me out of it.
Returning to what I said; are you suggesting that the correct way of announcing a new president in the USA is wrong?
I never said that - stop inventing your own stories
I said the media has declared Biden the President Elect - he certainly is not according to the election process.
Look on the bright side, Vlad, the left never think anything through so if the democrats have committed election fraud (the evidence is forthcoming) then it will be a piece of cake for the Republicans to prove.
Just bear in mind that the Democrats have continuously lied to get Trump out of office. Why wouldn’t they lie about election results … ?
As the saying goes … “dead men don’t tell tales”… unless of course thousands of them came to back to life and voted for Biden in Wisconsin
Technically, you are correct. However, in reality, when the individual states have tallied the votes, a winner is declared. Usually at this time, when a candidate achieves a grand total of 270 electoral votes, the loser concedes. The first person who achieves 270 electoral votes, proceeds as if he were the official winner. This is entirely normal.
The electoral college will not meet to cast their votes until December 14th. In my living memory, no “president elect” has ever waited for the “official count”. He begins to appoint various people for the transition team and certain permanent White House staff members. Obama, in 2008, appointed a White House Chief of Staff, one day after the election (without waiting for the electoral college to vote).
Again, this is entirely normal.
Thank you.
The rest of your post beyond that point is irrelevant; what has gone in the past is not necessarily indicative of the future.
Recent years have surely shown that there is no such thing as a certainty.
Please note that I am not saying Biden will not occupy The White House come the end of January 2021, I’m just saying that while his foot might be in the door his head isn’t yet on the pillow.
Maybe Biden and his team better wait for the ‘official’ announcement that he has won because if Trump continues with his law suits over the postal vote and was found that fraud did take place, Biden will look a right fool.
Do you imagine that George W. Bush would have called Joe Biden to congratulate him on his win if Bush was not damn sure Biden was the winner ?
Trump is toast. Get used to it.
Having been such a contentious election already so far I must agree; certainly he ought to tread more cautiously.
Perhaps he’s just in a hurry for some reason?
