Opinion: Democrat Joe Biden’s lead in the US election polls seems solid over President Donald Trump. Is there a chance the Republicans have followed Trump off a metaphorical cliff and will lose control of the Senate as well? | Bill Wyman

cartoons? Once in a while the Road Runner’s arch-nemesis, Wile E. Coyote, would find himself running off a cliff. For a time he’d be out in thin air, hovering, his legs churning furiously beneath him. Then he’d look down. Suddenly the gravity of his mistake would dawn on him, and, poof!, he’d drop to the desert floor below.

Now, the terms of the other legislature, the House of Representatives, last only two years; all 425 members face voters every cycle. In the mid-term elections two years ago, Donald Trump’s unpopularity already was wreaking havoc on his party. In 2018, the Republicans lost 41 seats in the House — one of the biggest “wave” elections in modern history. It was a trenchant example of how the mood of the country can set an electoral bomb off in Congress.

In any case, those jackpot wheels are lining up this year in a way they didn’t two years ago. Donald Trump’s first debate performance was widely described as a “shitshow”. The same term might be used to describe the electoral map for the Republicans. Two-thirds of the seats up for election this yeah are Republican-held. At least seven of these, and perhaps as many as 10, are vulnerable. They are facing an electorate in an angry mood.

If Joe Biden wins the election then it's confirmed ... north Americans are a bunch of ignoramus... good luck to you north Americans because you're going to need it.. Joe Biden is a true politician.. meaning he'll talk a lot but will do nothing for the people other than his family

Trumps an entitled brat and psychopath time for him to go

Why are there so many goddam Trump lovers in this country? Makes me want to move to NZ.

Republicans have a loser upturns the table plan

God I hope so

If, as predicted the Democrats win, no doubt they’ll want the country to unite behind them. Good luck.

Bullshit.

😂😂😂.

Here’s hoping.

Fake news about fake polls 🤣

He's got a solid lead has he? Let's look at your recent political calls: -Shorten had a solid lead -Hillary had a solid lead -Brexit was no chance.. Here we go again, 4th time lucky...

Wishful thinking

Hopefully

I prefer if Bill Wyman just plays rythrm.

I fucking hope so !

Woo hoo. Great news. Hope that all disappear up their own 🍑

Is it only just now you’re picking up on this...I mean I’ve heard of slow but this is ridiculous. ausmediaisbiased

MSM falling into the same trap as 2016. You guys haven't gotten a poll right since. Why so you think you got it right this time? Trump derangement syndrome alive and well at smh

Go Trump 2021 👍

Fake news

Let’s hope !!!!!!!!!!!

It’s happening again......

Don’t be so sure there is 30 odd million that haven’t voted yet and this may be the landslide that the GOP will look forward to and if that is so Pollsters and MSM will implode. So be careful what you think your reporting. You should look at the trends Dems will be shocked

The last time this piece of trash said something good about Trump was... well I’ve never seen it so it’s no surprise all of today’s stories paint a negative spin of Trump and Republicans.. and people still whinge about Murdoch! Unbelievable!!!

Je suis un Rock Star?

Not as solid as you think.

What are you guys on at the Sydney Morning Herald?

Have bookmarked this. It won’t age well.

nice try smh 😂

The poll? Mate go poll your D*ck in the corner! Go! Go on shoo.

Seriously what would Bill Wyman know about politics, stick to playing bass Bill

Screenshot! I’ll get back to you after the election.😏

We live in hope.

Can't see too much changing if Biden wins except the media will need a real job again, can't keep talking about Trump ?

This comment section is now property of the trolls of the American republicans. Congratulations.

forgot 2016? pre-polls predictions with 100% accuracy for being WRONG!

Uh...no. Leftist polls are just an opinion manipulation tool.

Trump2020LandslideVictory

I will believe it when I see it. After 2016, all bets are off. Polls mean nothing on Election Day but I would love to see Trump lose in the biggest turnout and loss in history because he’s an arse.

Isn’t that what happened last election? Trump losing the polls but winning the election

You fools can still save face! Just tell the truth!

Trump will win THEM ALL!

Lead? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can't wait to see your headlines when realDonaldTrump wins in 8 days.

Trump will win!

..... LOL the polls. That's cute.

Let’s hope so...

Senate votes for Trump nominee Barrett; confirmation expected soonSenate Republicans voted overwhelmingly on Sunday to advance Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett toward final confirmation despite Democratic objections, just over a week before the presidential election. Mother Coney Barrett !!! Woot All on the ready for the election dispute!!! Absolutely contemptible behaviour in light of their previous actions to halt Obama nominating anyone months before his last term ended. Totally expected though. As noamchomskyT noted they are the most dangerous organization in human history.

US Senate poised to confirm Judge Amy Barrett | Sky News AustraliaUnited States Senate Republicans are poised to confirm President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett.\n\nA final confirmation vote for Judge Barrett is expected to take place after a unanimous decision by the Senate Committee last week.\n\nDemocrats boycotted the vote, labelling the nomination process a sham.\n\nFinal confirmation would be a major victory for the president and is anticipated to occur just one week before election day. 🍿 time. Now watch the vile leftard meltdown. Too young and inexperienced. No such thing as a conservative Christian judge! Dispensation of what is fair, reasonable, moral and in good conscience isn't a forte of Christianity! They are busy partying before the half naked bleeding man pinned to the crusifix (the Christian bestseller)!

Trump goes with his gut, even if the world beyond the US goes belly-upJohn Bolton says the US President is an 'aberration' who has no world view, doesn't see the need for allies and is obsessed by China. FakeNewsNetwork down under Well, his gut is bigger than his brain. I despise Bolton but his statements ring true with everything else said & written about Trump from outside and those close. Solely Money/ego driven, doesnt care about countries that aren’t US and lied about Hunter Biden.
