You are not mentioning that a good deal of them are dying.

The newer models that are fleeing, and not simply retiring as used to be the case, are a somewhat different breed.

And there are increasing numbers of them as the NE and other failed liberal states are losing their populations and inviting immigrants in as replacements, thus hastening the out-flux.

Certainly the inner cities and such are democrat infested but from what I see - and this could, I suppose, reverse - the state is becoming less of a swing state and more solidly GOP.
Certainly (hillary!) is not counting on Florida.
Look at the vote shifts in the last decade and you will see the trend.

But the general idea of folks bringing failed politics with them is disturbing.

I admire your optimism, but most of the folks still moving down to SE Florida from New York and New Jersey are far from conservative.

Thankfully, there are still many folks moving from the Midwest and even other southern states, to the WEST coast or northern Florida. THOSE people are OK, but you would be fooling yourself if you think the folks from the northeast who continue to settle on the east coast of the state are becoming good Republicans when they move down.
