I think that some folks are baselessly panicking over Florida because they expected the race here to be easy -- a four-point Trump win! These folks deserve to be unnerved because fools and their happiness, like fools and their money, are soon parted. As I have never ...
... deviated from saying, FL will be likely two-point race. I anticipate DJT winning by that margin, given the GOP dominance with in-person early voting and the upcoming GOP tidal wave on Election Day. Those of you who are defecating yourselves over the reality of a close ...
... race in Florida deserve every second of what you are feeling. I warned you that the election would be tight on innumerable occasions. Now you are waking up to the reality of my words. No sympathy whatsoever for you. Adapt to the reality of FL's closeness and move along.
Actually, some folks even expected a five-point Trump win. I tried to dissuade them of their fantasies in a kind, soft-spoken manner, but I should have used the more direct approach, which I shall be doing from this point forward. No time for Pollyanna or doomer BS.

DJT's surge with Venezuelan voters (read that Politico article) is yet more reason as to why the 'traditionalist conservative' and 'blue collar populist' approach to GOP politics (i.e. white grievance-mongering) is not going to work. No small contribution to DJT's likely ...
... Florida win is his outreach to Venezuelans, many of whom apparently spurned him four years ago. The GOP has to reach out to new folks and it cannot go the Tim 'SJW-man' Scott or Jeb 'Amnesty-for-All' Bush route. This means that GOPers must approach new constituencies on ...
... the basis of bread-and-butter issues, and this is precisely what DJT did with Venezuelans in Florida. The end result is that he captivates support among a majority of its Democrats. The 'blue collar populists' and 'traditional conservatives' who want to whine about ...
I have been asking myself this since 2018, when Seminole went for Gillum. I think that Seminole is attracting young singles who not only commute to Orlando, but are gentrifying Sanford. It also has lots of soccer moms and college-educated GOP men who fit the Never Trump ...
... stereotype almost perfectly. Lake, meanwhile, is attracting families, many of whom are spectacularly wealthy (Montverde, Mt Dora, the lakeside districts of Clermont/Minneola), and almost all of whom commute to Orlando, but do not wish to live in Orange County due to its ...
... political climate and other factors which negatively influence one's quality of life. Lots of well-to-do families can be found in Seminole as well, and many of these vote GOP, but Seminole has more yuppie types who are either champagne socialists in-training or the ...
Also, from the Democracy Institute: Only 4% of DJT voters are open to changing their mind -- while 12% of Biden's backers are. At the same time, just 29% of DJT voters would admit their support for him in public, while 82% of Biden supporters would proclaim their vote openly.
Needless to say, there is a gigantic pro-Trump electorate which will not make itself known to the general public. Furthermore, 81% of Trump's voters are in his corner because they are in favor of him as a person, while only 29% of Biden's supporters can say the same.
71% of Biden voters are voting purely against Trump, rather than as an affirmation of the former Vice President. This is disastrous for Biden, especially because 77% of DJT's backers are enthusiastic about him, yet only 43% of Biden supporters are enthused over their candidate.
