FL close because no one can get real numbers. Here’s what we know:
R counties are up HUGE. Hillsborough has a 3,000 lead as of now (remember they were 22k D in early, but this is an Obama county).
Broward apparently, despite a lot of hand wringing is actually BEHIND 2012 by about 20,000.
No word on Orange, Osceola, Miami-Dade
Pinellas +10,000 for Rs. Pasco, Manatee, Lee, Strong, Brevard all up % very big (about 7-8% on average). A lot of north haven’t reported. Duval for some reason didn’t move all morning-—maybe a computer glitch, but is now moving fast.
Bottom line: no one has a number that Trump “has to beat” in the north and Panhandle. Early exit poll (I cannot give number) was indies very slightly Trump. I don’t believe it and think the real number higher, but even with this indie number and a normal turnout in the north/panhandle Trump should win. If the indie number and/or crossover number is larger, it will be a huge win. But at this moment, close cause we don’t know the damn number.
It’s gonna be hhhhuuuuuggggge!
The last thing we need is for them to hold out with a number of votes they need to "find" in a trunk somewhere. It's their famous last move.
What’s up with the Panhandle LS? Trump put out a call to arms on Hannity.
The panhandle will be big for The Donald, and he’ll do better than Romney in Tallahassee, even if he doesn’t take Leon County outright. He had a very impressive rally there two weeks ago.
