1/ There was a time when the #USElection winner would be projected based on the #electionresults we are looking at today. But the US has been taken hostage by a #manchild.

2/ The anchors and journalists at the US networks are doing a sterling job. That’s despite the anchors and reporters lacking sleep, not to mention the newsroom producers & field producers, camera crew etc

3/ I've been glued to @CNN since Tuesday evening. The team is explaining in clear language the why’ and how’s of #USElection2020. CNN and its #KeyRaceAlert (I will miss those) tell us why postal votes favour Biden whilst on the day #ballots favour Trump,

4/ They explain why the count takes so long when 140 million people vote during a pandemic, and provide a clear, convincing explanation of why Trump’s claims of voter fraud are baseless.

5/ It’s commentary is an excellent lesson in how democracy works. For the record, I have joined the Fanclub of the unflappable @JohnKingCNN

6/ I get why US networks are not making projections of the key battleground states. I know they can’t afford to get it wrong. He who gets it wrong has to pay the piper.

7/ However, the American people have spoken. #BidenHarris2020 overwhelmingly won the popular vote, & the trajectories of remaining states are going overwhelmingly in Biden’s favour. There is only one conclusion to this chapter, and its time to declare it.

8/ @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris - declare victory, ignore the ignoramus in the #WhiteHouse

9/ @CNN - declare your projections, don't pander to the #superspreader in the White House. With no evidence that stands up in court, he’s been laughed out of court, he is unprepared for his legal cases, and his closest advisers are dropping like flies. He's unravelling.

10/ Freedom of speech may be cherished, but it's far too generous to give to the #flailingObeseTurtle and his spawn. That family is toxic.
