Damn, that first few seconds were so relaxing!

[@AlexanderEdoh2013]

Why was the Bill Clinton part zoomed in?

[@applemask]

I think the BBC might have done that to try and cut out the American station logos. Or sponsor logos maybe.

I loved watching Tanya Sillem on the BBC, as such an attractive classy lady, believe that Tanya might be at RTE Radio.

That's how a real president reacts to defeat. Take note Mr Trump.

[@Bungle-UK]

@4th Chairman or in 2020

[@andrewrobinson8305]

There wasn’t any doubt in 2020 either. Trump and his die-hards are massive on conspiracy theories in relation to everything - it’s their mantra. Surely you’ve realised that?!

[@blueknight07]

I like how they use the british political colours.

[@andrewrobinson8305]

That was also how the Americans used them back in 1992. It wasn’t until 2000 that they switched the Republicans to red and the Democrats to blue.

@@andrewrobinson8305 It makes more sense to have Democrats red and Republicans blue. Across most of the world conservative/right leaning parties are represented in blue and liberal/social democratic parties are represented in red

[@andrewjames3908]

@@BendmydickCucumbersnatch yeah red is usually used to warn of danger

[@duncanholding7636]

The beginning of style of substance in politics. Clinton was a lucky president

[@Bungle-UK]

Bush, Clinton, Trump….so many toxic families at the helm of US politics.
