I was in Miami recently and everyone was speaking Spanish among themselves. But they are middle-class hard-working people who are proud that they came here through the front door, not the back door. Many of them are actually quite wealthy too.
So I guess in South Florida, the Hispanics are more conservative and the non-hispanics are more liberal, with the opposite being the case in Northern Florida. I recently saw interviews with Hispanics in Orlando who are totally against illegal immigration.
I’d be more worried about Arizona than Florida. Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada seem to be lost causes.
Are they related to Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe?

Echos of Marty Glickman and Clem McCarthy. (I confess, I had to look up their names, but I can hear their voices).
My solution is to do away with statewide Presidential voting. Instead, the party that controls the lower chamber of the state legislature (the most populous) will select the slate of Electors to the Electoral College.
A marketing campaign would have to be launched to explain to voters that voting for your state Assembly will the same as voting for your preference for President, and will lead to a President that is aligned with the goals of the legislature.
Another selling point might be that it will end the endless Presidential campaign ads cluttering everyone' TVs every night, since the only vote that will matter is your local Assemblyman.
This change will result in denying the NPV compacting states a true national popular vote to rely on. Do this in Florida and Texas, and a huge chunk of national vote will be removed from the count.
NPV compacting states may declare that they will still go forward with whatever popular vote count remains (which would exclude major Republican vote counts), but this would likely result in lawsuits declaring that the states that already adopted the compact did so expecting a NATIONAL popular vote, and there would no longer be a national vote tally. Therefore the compact, as is, would be invalid.

Politico ... consider the source. I don’t even READ anything that has that news tag.
Yea, Biden is going to win in Texas to!
I meant patriot vs pedophile...
Neither have I, Joe. Neither have I!
I stand corrected :-).
Biden is delusional. He got 1% last time he ran. Trump will win in a landslide unless he fails to prosecute the democrats for stealing votes called ballot harvesting.
The 2016 election is a good example. Remarkably, Trump stirred longtime marginal voters to turn out and vote for him. This killed polling models that counted on continued low turnout from the demographic of Trump supporters. As the pollsters lament, who could have predicted that?
After the election, some pollsters admitted to seeing signs of the Trump win but discounting because they did not believe that his supporters would turn out. And Trump of course had built his entire campaign on the implausible goal of getting White, blue collar conservatives to turn out and flip a key swath of blue states red. In doing so, Trump upended the long-settled expectations of American politics -- and thereby forced some embarrassed pollsters and political strategists into retirement.
Very enlightening, Rockingham. Thanks for that info & insight.
If there is a postage pre-paid envelope I tell them they should just ask for the staff or agency that drafted the poll to give back their pay or fee earned!
