I have to admit, seeing stuff like this gives me the jitters.
Although I keep coming back to what I see.
In 2008 — in Orlando — everyone had the Hope and Change sticker on their car, the rallies that King Sh*thead kept filling in stadiums were attracting tens of thousands. Remember the clowns who were passing out?
College kids, blacks, white middle aged yoga moms, aging burn outs and suburbans were all on the Obama bandwagon.

In 2012, as much as it depressed me, I saw very little enthusiasm for Romney other than —he’s better than Obama.

Granted, this is all anecdotal evidence — but in Orlando, I don’t see the same enthusiasm for HIllary. Not with the college kids I work with (I work at a major Orlando health club in Maitland, FL...) In 2008, all the lifeguards in the aquatics department were gaga of BamBam. Now — it’s either Trump or, “Dude? There’s an election?”

Again, all anecdotal.

But... if they’re claiming Hillary has MORE support and intensity than Obama in 2008 (he was D+8, then D+6 if I’ve got my figures right) I think that’s nuts.

More anecdotal — lots of former Obama nuts are now on the Trump train. Also, Bernouts are either for Trump or not voting.

One final observation — my hubby works in an office with a large minority population. They’re all either for Trump or won’t vote if they hate the both of them. None of the minority work mates are even remotely interested in Hillary.

Again, anecdotal, but that’s all I got. I just hope I’m right.

By the way, not a noob, although my screenname is new. Was a Freeper going back to the Gore/Leiberman days. Just quit the freep for mental health reasons (it got so dark...) and can’t find my old screen name.

Freegards...

Another, admittedly unscientific observation, Dade City, according to the FL board of elections in terms of percentages is the most heavily Democrat town in the state. I drive through there from time to time. The west end of town is largely Latino and I have not seen ONE Clinton yard sign or bumper sticker there. In the entire town I've seen maybe two small Clinton signs, there's more Trump signs, including a YYUUUGE one right on US301 the main road running north and south. Something else to consider, even though by all accounts NY doesn't seem to be in play, my old stomping grounds in Rockland County, the village of Spring Valley, like Brooklyn and Queens has a large Caribbean population. They are absolutely outraged at the screw job the earthquake victims in Haiti got from the Clinton Foundation. Also nearby in Monsey and New Square is a huge number of Orthodox Jews. Traditionally they vote Democrat especially locally but they did support Reagan both times, and the ones in NYC overwhelmingly voted for Mayor Guliani in both elections. To say the least they were unimpressed with Her Henious when she ran for US Senate. Obviously, Trump is no Reagan, but Rockland could go Republican for the first time since 1984. This in and of itself wouldn't be enough for Trump to win NY, but who knows?
