After all they have pledged to "lead america out of the coronavirus crisis" which will be good considering there has been no real leadership in this crisis hence why Biden has a good chance.

Re: President Biden?
How do you actually 'win' a debate?
All the coverage after the fact will be about who 'won' the debate, even days later as polls on the debate start to publish results.

(I’ve noticed that foreigners, for instance British people living in the uk, often seem to just be interested in the presidential election as if it’s the only game in town. My sister and bil for instance. I think it’s because in the UK who you vote for as an MP helps decide who will be PM, while in the US, each person running for each office can be independent of the presidential election.)

And if it's a Trump attack on Biden (or vice versa) or Harris, then there's no reason why it couldn't be in both.

Re: President Biden?
And perhaps I am not so full of crap as you would like to believe. According to Daily Mail link below half of democrat voter in Ramussen reports poll don't think Biden will serve a full term if elected and 59% expect VP pick to become president oh and a fith think he has some form dementia. I don't know if this a republican poll or how the political views are it is just what I found.

My rationale? You read the Daily Mail. They don't even get UK news right, let alone the US.

. Honestly, back before the election got started, having a "Trump" thread made sense because we needed a place to discuss his nefarious dealings, his daily stupid outbursts, his (then) shocking lies, etc. But now ... hard to think of anything that is 'Trump' related that is not also 2020 election related. I suppose discussions about trump's hair, and his shower fettish, are still appropriate to the Trump focused thread

If Biden wins the election no doubt we will continue to discuss his presidency in this thread. If he doesn’t the thread will probably wither away.

.I took a quick look at the trailer park thread and there are quite a few of you "Americans" posting there and the general section so you might get a bit fed up up of seeing something in two sections and three threads.
It seems there are as many of you as there are of us Canadians, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Belgian, Hungarian, Aussies, New Zealanders....who have I left out?
