Not sure it matters at this stage.
Without Coronavirus Trump would have won easily in November thanks to the American economy surging ahead before the outbreak.
But his handling of the pandemic with some of the more bizarre pronouncements from the White House plus the inevtiable damage to the economy from C-19 has sealed his fate.
The worrying thing is the alternative.
Biden is clearly being kept under wraps with the onset of early dementia an open secret.
The choice of VP will be crucial.
Nigel
A surging economy and a focused campaign of racially targeted voter supression. Since he’s still got the latter going for him, I wouldn’t write him off yet!
One of the reasons I think there is going to be a split in the GOP btw
And Charage, that’s what we in the GAA call getting the excuses in early
Mind you lads
Trump2020 must be really :::ked if Charage is trying to put distance between himself and them

Its Harris,and she will do 4 years as veep then two terms as POTUS,but given old joes mental and physical state it will really be 12 years of Kamala,with the senate and house, easily looking at 2 maybe 3 supremes court nominees:)

You’re confusing discussing the merits of a presidency for support for that candidate.
It’s a common mistake among the social media generation for whom everything must be conventiently labelled pro or anti.
And the sign of a closed and intolerant mind that won’t consider differing opinions.
Trump has had considerable success with the economy and avoided any large-scale foreign military action, something which not all of his near predecessors managed.
On the downside his managerial limitations are obvious to see and, apart from the initial closing down of borders, he has handled C-19 badly, although much of the blame for America’s inadequacies in dealing with the pandemic lie with individual states rather than federal government.
Worryingly the alternative is a 78-year-old white man with signs of early onset dementia and his own murky financial and personal history.
A tough choice for Americans.I don’t envy them.
Nigel
Fake-objective Salmon is my favourite. Trump coasted on a rising economy he inherited from Obama, claimed credit for it, and then blamed Obama for, er, everything bad that happened. None of this is endearing behaiour to anyone but his shrinking base. Hence all the voter suppression and attempts to get foreign powers to open investigations on his political rivals and incredibly ironic campaign to question Biden’s mental faculties.
It’s how these people sell themselves

This time he has to account for himself
And so will Boris
If he sticks it out

Get Brexit Done seemed a pretty good campaign slogan to me, especially as it delivered an 80-seat majority.
And Brexit was done.
Some meme….
And the Tories remains five points in front of Labour who have 162 fewer seats than them in the Commons.
Meanwhile it has taken the Irish 130 days to form a coalition government that effectively leaves this country without any proper opposition for another four years to allow the politicians you gripe about daily to do just about whatever they want to you.
Winners are grinners baby.
But the really big grin caused by some great lolz is those posters on here who spent years predicting Brexit would never happen, Magic Grandpa would win power and Boris would never get in.
And still continually complain the English don’t understand the Irish.

A tad surreal the whole Ascot Races – it seems that every day was, “Ladies Day”. From home, lots of women posted on social media what they were wearing whilst watching the racing. I haven’t investigated further than a mere ponder about the RDS Horse Show – will it be happening, with/out an audience/crowds, if at all, and what shall the “Ladies” of Ireland be wearing during the four days?

Right back at you Bertie, and all the other Dad’s on here :)
If you go east from New York you hit the Hamptons,if you go North its the Catskills,nice piece in NYT on its RE market.Its mainly a second home market and has been booming, New Yorkers are buying ‘panic rooms’ outside the city, too early say what impact COVID will have long term, but short term its a boom for the burbs and beyond.
Most New Yorkers I know have left the city until Sept (Labor Day) ,fleeing to these idilic picturesque locals, with lots biting flies,awful WiFi,bad coffee, no culture and almost no diversity,the future is here and it looks awfully like the suburbs ahhh:)
“A buying frenzy is roiling the real estate markets in some of New York’s most pastoral regions. And nowhere is the enthusiasm starker than in the Catskills.”
“Ms. Jones described her typical clients as New Yorkers who are lucky enough to have discovered (or renewed their appreciation of) the ease of working from home and see no point in paying astronomical city prices when they will likely be wary of attending cultural events when the events finally return or rubbing shoulders in bars and restaurants when they reopen. After being confined in tight quarters with their young children, they are eager to be liberated into open, green spaces.”
One the many arguments put forward in opposition to the development of RTE’s surplus land is a prediction of a return to a form of urban sprawl or low density living,this substantiates that theory but there is too little data for now to establish a pattern.

Catskills is nice, now about Dublin,there was a really nice Joe O’Reilly development in D4 he had hit 10% pre sales pre covid,not sure where its at today-live the dream:)
€800,000 for a one-bed unit and €2.1 million for the highest-priced three-bedroom unit
The opposition to RTE developing its surplus land ,references NY pricing as indicative of a dysfunctional Dublin RE market, for this quality in this location you would pay 2 or 3 times this price in NY.
Has Dermot Desmond’s letter been viewed as a threat to democracy or just ignored, in my opinion his threat to jam up the planning and development process in the midst of a national housing crisis is kinda scary, given his resources,if the RTE deal goes south it will be hard raise capital for similar development deals, further limiting supply.
If the govt can find (I have no idea where) the legislation to lock down the entire population and close the economy doing irreparable harm, why can’t they build a few houses ?
The best course of action
By everyone
From the local authorities to the Dept of the Environment
All their respective elected officials

Probably best,if a few old people dying over a virus that has no cure,justifies the Irish govt locking the entire nation down,wrecking the economy,who knows what they would do if they actually paid attention to the environmental and specifically the housing crisis…gosh they may panic and build houses!
Well if this dev goes upside down,it will chill any future US investment into irish housing…leaving the govt as lender of last resort,further exacerbating a dysfunctional market….probably best ignore it:)
I wonder what IIU have to say about that policy Johnny;
Evacuating vulnerable patients exposed to Covid 19 to unsuspecting, and unequipped care facilities?
