The moron couldn’t even read his lines correctly. He said that he profoundly accepts the nomination but evidently the written line was that he proudly accepts.

I was trying to work out what he could have possibly meant by "I profoundly accept".
I'm so glad I'm not an American.
He sounds like a con-man thats been found out.
The jig is up - the only chance he has is cheating via the postal vote stuff
I am reminded of the inability to land a shot on Tony Abbott. He just kept sliding from one gaff to the next and pretending that nothing had happened. When politicians lack any sense of shame there is very little that can be done to pull them into line or to get them to back down. Our current democratic systems seem fatally flawed in this regard. Shame is almost our only tool, and it no longer works.
This also comes back to the media keeping them accountable.
Yeah, not good, but I just don't get how the Republicans could criticise Biden for this as Trump does the same every day.
Sure they will though, and Fox News and their ilk will back Trump up to the hilt while ignoring Trump's nonsensical ramblings.

Hadn't looked in a fair while and had the impression Trump was done for. How did this happen?
Its an indictment of their country and their parties that these are the 2 best candidates to lead them.
Trump has to go but jeez Biden is gonna provide a lot of LOL's.

America is broken

Trump done for?
For the Democrats that would be the silly attitude that cost them votes in key states last time, don't think they will make the same mistake again.
The betting markets reflect not only a judgement of the odds but also how much money is wagered on each candidate so, while it can be a useful guide, it is far from definitive. Polls used to be more reliable than they are now for many reasons, but they are only a guide too.
Actually I think the best thing the pollsters could do would be to ask for demographic info and then ask if the person intends to vote. The outcome of this election will really depend on who can get their vote out, and in the US context, how many can be prevented from voting.
I suspect if an election were held today Biden would win, but the election is not today and all political campaigns are timed for the actual election day so a hell of a lot can happen in the next 2 months.
I do find it ridiculous that Trump is running a law and order platform when he is actively feeding the divisions in US society. If he is so good on law and order how come all the strife is happening on his watch? Mind you, Trump's law and order line does seem to convince some.

There's some interesting analysis in this article on the possible effect of facebook on the US election:

What if Facebook Is the Real ‘Silent Majority’? (Published 2020)
Right-wing influencers are dominating the political discussion on Facebook, raising questions about whether it will translate into electoral success in November.
Michael Moore of all people tweeted about. In simple terms, the Dems will again win the popular vote but in the key swing states, Trump is doing well. I think Dems may well make the same mistakes as last time.Hadn't looked in a fair while and had the impression Trump was done for. How did this happen?
Biden still ahead in most swing states, but it's tightening up.

Biden Leading Trump In Key Swing States
Biden continues to maintain a lead over Trump in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida, as the election looms on Nov. 3.

Once you're inside the last month or two before an election, betting markets have an awesome record of predicting results, with the notable outliers being the last US and Australian elections.
Like me Trump is a big fan of the underrated 2012 Tim Burton Dark Shadows flick. People say Depp phoned in his performance, but a high-octane performance from Eva Green and some subtle acting from the great Michelle Pfeiffer got the job done.
