While putting on a brave we won! face following the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton and her campaign is facing some very hard truths in the all-important swing state of Florida.
Namely, that Donald Trump is winning there and winning big.

Concerns have mounted within the Clinton campaign regarding the looming Florida problem for several weeks, and most recently, and despite millions in spent advertising targeting the state, Donald Trumps lead in Florida is now turning into domination.
Internal polling is said to show Trump nearing a remarkable DOUBLE-DIGIT lead in the Sunshine State over the former Obama Secretary of State and for the first time, Team Clinton has to face the very real possibility of curtailing the campaigns until now, blank check spending habits as Trump begins to challenge Clinton in historically blue states like Michigan and Maine.

Days earlier, the Clinton campaign planned multiple events in Florida, (including still scheduled events by Michelle Obama) hoping to motivate what appears to be disinterested minority voters. And then, just yesterday, Hillary Clinton was a no-show at a planned event in Hollywood, Florida. The campaign gave no public statement regarding Mrs. Clintons sudden absence, but perhaps it was the embarrassment of only a handful of supporters showing up and being outnumbered by Trump supporters standing just across the street:

Are they rallies or fundraisers?
Rallies, according to her event schedule.
Bias has been there since Reagan, if not earlier.
Only difference now is, it is out in the open, no effort to hide it.
I see you are still very concerned.
Concerned? More like not willing to believe Hillary is going to abandon Florida now. Not buying it.
Checked in on that live stream. Small crowd, not very vocal. And she has bags under her eyes. And why go to Ft. Pierce? Not a lot of transplants there, nor a lot of Dem votes.
Her consultants get a huge commission. They need to spend (waste) the money so they can beg the donors for more.
They must have moved the ad dollars to Pennsylvania. They're everywhere and on everything. It's like that dead skunk smell. They're starting to stick to me.
I think we (the editorial "we") need to be careful with how we view posts like this. Yes, in the past (with traditional R candidates) such talk has been the hallmark of campaigns coasting into "prevent defense" mode, which is an open invitation for the opposition to score points and make it back into the game.
However, it is also important to recognize when a strategy is having a positive effect, otherwise we end up wasting energy on strategies that have no effect. When storming the castle, one must allocate your reserve where it can have the best chance of breaching the walls, not elsewhere.
Small signs of success should be a rallying cry to redouble our efforts, and should not in any case be seen as a sign that complacency is acceptable.
Hillary is a force to defeat, to be sure. Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of (political) war!
If this were Trump, the MSM would be playing that video 24/7 and have dozen of analysts commenting on it.
And the presentation wasn't covered live by C-SPAN, FoxNews or CNN either. No matter. I don; tthink the point of that speech will get he many votes. She basically is trying to get people jazzed up to work directly for the government on some vague "social welfare" "do-gooder" basis. As if people can't volunteer without the government providing the assignment.
She is ahead in Florida as of the polls released today.
The Fl GOP has been knocking on doors thought central fl this year.
There was no one for Romney .
In Tampa my sister was visited twice by the GOP.
They are all registered independent in that house..
Same thing in Orlando for my cousins .
The volunteers were young .
We are getting calls / messages to vote early here every week .
Nothing in 2012 .
I noticed that. She waited for an arm to get her started down a half flight of steps. She did complete the trip without holding on to his arm. She held on for the first step down, then let go and finished (4 steps or so) on her own.
Ok, I didn’t see that many rallies on her schedule.
How would you know? Not saying this is true or untrue because I have no way of knowing and I doubt that you do either.
Which Dem push poll operations ?
She doesn’t do much, that’s for sure.
