You have to know Florida to understand Florida. In many ways it’s a microcosm of the larger U.S. electorate, everyone is from somewhere else; and in some ways it’s a unique place known only to generational crackers, which has nothing whatsoever to do with race or hyphens.
If you grew up in Florida you’ll already know most of this review. Or if your childhood Tupperware was a matching set of Cool Whip containers, well, it’ll make sense too.
After the primary season voting we shared some insight into what the results meant for the general election overall. We even made some predictions based on that result. It’s now seven months later, and despite the media noise, the reality of what’s taking place on the ground aligns with all previous expectations.

I think it’ll be closer than that. Otherwise, DJT would not have been doing multiple events here.
Larry??
Either that or Trump smells the kill and wants an overwhelming victory. A 10 point shellacking would be devastating psychologically.
From your lips to G-d’s ears!
No. If he were certain of winning by 10 in Florida he would be in Pennsylvania.
I think Trump wants the word out and he knows Dems may get tons of illegals voting. Has to be over the margin of theft to really put it away.
He will spend last days in Ohio and (key) Pennsylvania.
I think Michigan could be in play as well. He should visit there.
Of course, NC, Iowa, and Nevada.
Hillary will screw up her election...with hubris.
Combine this analysis, with the newest polls from NV and OH - all point to 6-10 point swing to Trump vs 2012. That should translate to VA, PA, MI, WI, CO, NM, NH, NV, IA all falling to Trump. OR and MN come into play.
Remember Pat Caddell has hinted at an enormous shock on election night!
....meanwhile the Cankles Caboose has slipped back and is descending into the fjord that it was always pining for.
OH NOES...sunk without trace.
Excellent piece. I was hoping someone would address factoring in the Independents which have been breaking for Trump every step of the way and crossover dems.

Or if you helped mix the yellow food dye into the oleo-margarine to make it look like butter.
The signs on the lawn in front library grounds were all Democrats though, placed their by campaign workers, I assume. These were Corrine Brown's people.
Poll workers were mostly minority, exclusively female. Polite. In Carhartt pants and work boots, it was clear I wasn't there to vote for Hillary. They smiled, checked my I.D., gave me a receipt and my ballot.
I arrived about 2:00 pm. There were plenty of voters but no line. I was in and out in five minutes. No shenanigans that I observed. I read the ballot carefully and made sure I inked in every bit of the oval next to Trump's name.
Normally, I vote on election day to take part in this great American tradition but this election is too important to risk something happening to me prior to November 8th. I needed to get it out of the way.
Lots of German Americans in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, not to mention Iowa.
I don’t know why nobody is mentioning this angle. German Americans make up 17% of the population.
If 98% of Blacks can vote for Obama, why wouldn’t hard working, patriotic German Americans take a special liking to one of their own?
I thought I read a 100% increase in the Hispanics, early voting - that troubles me. I just posted a similar article for NC - I see a win there for Trump as well - assuming African Americans and Democrats crossover as seem to be suggested by larger than normal unaffiliated voting.
“Or if you helped mix the yellow food dye into the oleo-margarine to make it look like butter.”
That was my job. I loved the squishy squeeze of the capsule till it popped and then watching the color spiral out as I stirred until it was all golden.
“...Voted Trump/Pence today in Jacksonville...”
Thanks for the detailed report of your voting experience in from Florida - I appreciated reading it.
We must be getting old. ;-)
