AND THEY ARE VOTING FOR THE WORLD.
LIKE IT OR NOT, EACH OF US HAS A “HORSE IN THIS RACE”.
If you did not believe it before, you may want to accept it now; “When the US coughs, the World gets a chill”.
So, will it be a “Trump hang-over” or a “Biden drink-out”?
A cautious review of the latest poll numbers in: Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, suggests that Biden could “close the gates (early) before the elephants bolt” .
And even without the “Pennsylvania master key”. It is looking increasingly likely, that it could be an early night.
I agree with the US poll watchers that, if the Democrats gets those 4 states, and keep the 232 electoral college votes won by Senator Clinton, His Excellency, Donald Trump, and the Republicans, could be nursing a very large head-ache come Wednesday. Especially since the Democrats seem to have several paths to victory, even with out those 4.
Having said that, Vice President Biden may wish to keep a good supply of his favorite pain killers close by, just in case the “donkeys” get penned in.
I think I have read about as much as one could reasonably read about the US elections over the past months; and the more I read, the more I get the sense that a good many of the US electors have as good a world view as most of us. Let us see if that is reflected at the polls.
Walk good until next time.
