Too much tension on the coming days into the 08 Nov US Presidential elections already. Markets are just going quiet as this digital event may swing either way.
No one can make head or tail of the latest polls as they regularly swing like a pendulum whenever a new revelation is revealed. A tight race is expected and there may even be a vote recount like Gore/Bush. The parties are preparing for a long drawn out battle.
Honestly, whatever the outcome, the Americans deserve whoever they choose to be the next President. Democracy is such that the majority, however slim, wins the right to choose the winning candidate, although sore losers are expected if Trump loses…
If most citizens just do not support either candidates and either skips the voting or vote for the independents instead, then Trump will have an upper hand. Clinton, Obama and Michael Moore are encouraging all who can vote to make a special effort to do so next Tuesday. A high voter turn out is crucial.
The rest of the world watched in amazement as the biggest democracy descends into chaos and new lows in ugliness and hatred. After the fall of communism, is democracy next?
Trump must be having second thoughts about all the work he has to do for the next 4 years on a tiny 200k salary versus his business world now. I would not be surprised if he pulls a rabbit out of his own hat to sabotage his own campaign into the final days. Then he can say that the elections is rigged, that GOP did not support him and spend the next 4 years keeping everyone guessing for 2020 and maximising his profit potential with the free publicity he gets. That would have been a well spent $50 M investment of his own money into the Trump campaign, no?
