Did I say Trump would lose North Carolina?

Did I say Trump would lose North Carolina?

I don't know. You were responding to a post about the "Trump is losing NC" narrative. And if you have NC as more liberal than FL, which Trump won by only 1.3 points, well... there ain't much room left to maneuver.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

I think you misread that. I do think it will be tight. I also think that Florida has had a resurgence in conservatism. So much that I think in 2020, Trump's winning margin in Florida will be bigger than his winning margin in North Carolina.

Things have changed since 2016. I think they got better for Trump in Florida, and tighter for him in NC.

[Coop]

Okay, fair enough. I did misinterpret your point. I think Trump improves his winning margin in both states, and all across the country.

The entire Gore/Bush mess in 2000 was created by Tom Brokaw, who called the election early (for Gore?), forgetting the two time zones, after which thousands in the panhandle did not go to the polls.

No forgetting was involved. All the media outlets were reminded in advance by the SoS's office that Florida has two time zones.

No, he will, big red wave coming.

I guess they figure they’re appealing to their base who are a bunch or moronic snowflakes.

Noted. Thanks. Sometimes I really do feel like I am living through Orwell’s 1984. The Media really is the enemy of the people.

This is the first Presidential election I will vote early. Not young anymore and don’t want to take a chance I may not be able to vote (or kick the bucket) on or before Election Day.

hell getting old.

The YUGE MISTAKE the LIEberals are making is that the Democrat voters are voting for Biden.

I am led to believe that roughly 20% of the attendees at President Trump’s Rallies are Democrats.

I wonder if there is any way to verify if the Democrats are REALLY voting Democrat before Nov 3?

I voted with my absentee ballot last week in Manatee County and my ballot has been verified and counted.

My wife is opting to vote in person at an early voting location tomorrow. She may change her mind and vote with her absentee ballot when she sees the line.

Thank God then that your opinion means nothing to me

I’m guessing your wife and kids too

You’re just boring as HELL man.

buona notte

ROTFL!! When subjected to your own words, you throw a tantrum. Too easy! :-D

Hey, before you continue lecturing me/us on boredom, could you tell us another tale about NYC and/or your Italian heritage, Papa?!?
