In my opinion, Trump is a very difficult opponent: he has hard electorate, not voters and if he does something wrong, his electorate forgives him. Secondly, he is an experienced man with a TV past who is doing great in the campaign. He is old but his health is good and it`s hard to beat someone like that. In 2020, Biden won mainly because of Covid and Trump's terrible decisions (Biden also won not by that much then). In my opinion, if the Republicans had put up a polite and well-mannered politician like Mitt Romney, Harris would have had a much easier time winning against him. If Trump were weak, he wouldn`t be allowed to run again after his defeat in 2020.

Who will be the  charitable soul with desire to swap with me?   By the way: is tomorrow or in Sunday?

It's now time for our parade of 35 nations.    They will be accompanied by some  TISC and TAISC competitors from the past.    First up, it's Billy Ocean performing his song from TISC 2021 Red Light Spells Danger.       Albania @Erigert    Argentina @konig      Brazil @brunamoura      Bulgaria @Federer91      Canada @Topicmaster1010      Chile @ManuCHIL    China @Vic Liu    Czech Republic @Hipooo    

And Ed will be back later tonight to play a melody of his top songs.    Tonight we're emanating from the incredible Goodison Park in Liverpool, which will also play host to Sunday's grand final and closing ceremony.    So let's find out a bit more about our host venue.      Built in 1892 after a dispute between the owners of Everton Football Club and Anfield Stadium (where Everton used to play) the stadium can hold a total of 39,414 people.    The stadium has played host to many memorable moments, including the vast majority Everton's 130+ years in top flight football, their miraculous last day relegation escapes, the 1893-94 FA Cup final between Notts County and Bolton Wanderers and 5 games at the 1966 World Cup including the Quarter Final between Portugal and North Korea and the Semi Final between West Germany and the the Soviet Union.    This ground was also chosen by lifelong Everton fan Sylvester Stallone to play host to the fight between Adonis Creed and "Pretty" Ricky Coclan in the 2015 Box Office film Creed.    At the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season the ground is set to be demolished and turned into a housing estate as Everton move into their new stadium Bramley Moor Dock next season. A truly fitting venue to host TISC 2024. 

Opening Ceremony   Hello and welcome to TISC 2024 hosted by !!   We've got a packed show for you tonight, but first performing his winning song from last year Galway Girl.... it's Ed Sheeran!!   . 

Perhaps swapping with China? Would fix 2 problems with 1 swap? @Vic Liu
