Trump has more popular votes at this stage (69 million) than he got when he won in 2016 (63 million) :lol:

 

He got 74 million in 2020.

 

I assume fewer Hispanics & women voted for Harris compared to Biden four years ago.

If you want to see crazy election results look at what is happening in Illinois or Virginia. Crazy big shifts from 2020.

I see Harris has still won Illinois? Obviously losing Pennsylvania & Ohio is the big difference maker.

 

Polish media report Republians have won Miami-Dade county for the first time since 1988. I assume that's a majority Latin county with many immigrants from Cuba and others?

She did, but Trump got much, much closer than anybody expected.

This is going to be a blockbuster win for Trump. He could potentially win all battlegrounds and made significant gains in serious blue states like Virginia, New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut etc. States, with the exception of Virginia, where he virtually didn't run a campaign at all. 

 

Who knew 10 years ago, that Trump of all people will become one of the strongest political figures in American history. Only the second President to be re-elected in non-consecutive terms. And this after the unprecedented rhetoric and events around his persona.

Probably we won't see a woman candidate for a looong time after this. 

 

Maybe, just maybe next time Democrats can campaign differently than "Women should vote for women, what kind of women don't support other women, if you don't vote for a black woman you are .... etc. "

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
