Sorry but MN is a pipe dream, Reagan couldn’t even win.

C'mon man.

Reagan won 49 states with 525 Electoral college votes and the only state he didn't win was MN.

The reason he didn't win MN was that he ran NO ADS on MN, and did not campaign there, because it was Mondale's home state and Reagan did not want to embarrass him.

Reagan felt sorry for wally and let him win his home state.

Reagan would have crushed Mondale, but chose not to.

You are worse than snarky, you are ignorant.

Republicans don’t just lead in Dade county, they also lead in Palm Beach county. Only in Broward do Democrats lead. Those 3 counties are greater Miami. Without a massive advantage there, Democrats are screwed. The rest of Florida is pretty red. For Republicans to actually lead early voting in 2 of those 3 is staggering.

Trump is going to carry Florida again in a romp.

Baris & Barnes went over this. The Democrats burned up a lot of their 4 for 4 (ie voted in the last 4 presidential elections) voters doing mail in ballots. The Republicans have a lot of theirs left for voting day. What the Republicans have been getting to the polls are a lot of 1 for 4 and 2 for 4 voters (ie less reliable voters) so far.

Translation: the Republicans have plenty of ammonia left for Election Day. The Democrats don’t.

She’s been replaced. You know that right? The Black woman (I forgot her name) who ran the corrupt Broward Democrat voter fraud machine for years and years was pushed out the door and into retirement by Governor DeSantis. I think Florida has a much better handle on Broward now and far more oversight.

Democrats in the critical must-win state of Florida are panicking at the lead Republicans have taken in in-person early voting in Miami-Dade County, a usually reliable blue bastion.

How can they be sure that all the Republicans are voting for Trump or all the Democrats are voting for Biden?

Keep me optimistic SmokingJoe!!

You know what it is? I remember FR being so optimistic about Romney beating Obama (lets forget he's only a notch better than Zer0 and was not my pick but I want Zer0 gone!) and posters were talking EV numbers looking good for Republicans, etc. Saying on the ground in OHIO was better than polls were saying for Romney. I remember being on here on the live election thread and sorry to call someone out, but poster LS had people convinced it was going to be a win for Romney from all of the people on the inside he was talking to about the polling numbers.

I'm just super cautious about being too optimistic.

So...I get a little cautious

Do you really remember 2012?
At least 40% of Freepers were against Romney.
Heck, Jim himself was 100% anti Romney.
It was mostly hold your nose and vote for the guy if you have to.
In all the time I have been here, I have never seen Freepers totally support a Republican candidate like they are supporting President Trump right now.
Heck even in 2016 there were deep divisions. I was a strong Ted Cruz supporter. Never believed Trump would govern as a real conservative.
As it turns out, Trump is by far the most conservative Republican president in my lifetime. No one even comes close. Not even Reagan and I love Reagan.

About Romney, he should have won it. You can't win if you are not prepared to do what it takes to win, including getting really nasty like the Dems always do. Trump can be fully relied upon to get every bit as nasty and as vicious as the Dems and do whatever it takes to win.

Reagan did not campaign in Minnesota in 1984. He did not want to embarrass Mondale by winning his home state.

That is my understanding as well. Reagan could have easily won MN had he tried. But being a magnanimous winner, the Gipper let Mondale have his home state.

I remember all that too. Ohio radio talk show host Bill Cunningham was giving us on the ground reports touting a certain victory in Ohio for Romney.

However, let's not forget Romney was leading in the Rasmussen poll over Obama by 52-45 well into October. Then Hurricane Sandy struck the northeast and changed the dynamics of that election. Of course, the media played a key role in helping Obama flip the narrative.

Happily, I am more optimistic about Trump's chances than I ever was for Romney, but not taking anything for granted.

Romney didn’t have 20,000 people waiting in the heat, rain or snow for six hours just to have a shot at seeing him.

Often more than 20,000. I hear today’s rally in Tampa is being billed as the largest one yet.

Reagen barely lost MN and his opponent Mondale was from MN.

The article states IN PERSON VOTING Republicans lead in Dade.
TOTAL VOTES including VBM DEMOCRATS are still ahead by about 90K votes....but Writer is stating the IN PERSON VOTING slight lead for Republicans is not a typical trend probably related to Cuban/PR voters , thus Republicans over performing as a total vote in Dade.

Hopefully Republicans still come out on election day to swamp the Democrats scared of China Virus.

They are not. But going by previous elections, and exit polls, most Dems vote for the Dem candidates and most Republicans vote for the Republican candidates.

Even I can tell this is election is not like previous elections. I doubt that past is prologue in this case and I suspect that a fair number of the Republicans are voting for Biden and a fair number of the Democrats are voting for Trump.

Detested that freak and he and McCain were the most agonizing hold my nose votes I’ve ever done.

I wouldn’t have bothered getting off the sofa if Mittens was holding a rally in my kitchen.

The shame...the shame.
