1. And therefor, DeSantis will stomp for shithole . . .

[rockfordfile]

2. DeSantis is a racist and a pos crook

[mcar]

3. DeRacist has kept a pretty low profile

Except for the Amendment 4 shenanigans. Could be why he's polling well.

[bronxiteforever]

4. Good point.

[obamanut2012]

6. Agreed -- he's left MMJ alone, too

Which Rick Scott kept going after. That ship has sailed, and DeBigot is smafrt enough to know it.

Amendment 4 changes will lose in lawsuits, but that will take a while to bite him. I loathe him, he is a racist and a crook and a misogynist, just smarter about it than Rick Scott.

7. It is amazing that Debigot(love that) is considered a moderate

In Florida. He is just another in a long line of odious GOP Florida politicians. But I guess that is Florida right now. IT45 is still easily able to win the state, even after all he has done.

9. And Scott won 2 terms and cheated

Nelson out of a Senate seat.

5. This is just one indicator why those who believe Trump will definitely lose is very complacent

reasoning

There are very critical swing states that will determine the next President, and nothing should be taken for granted

8. +1000 we definitely have to win the Midwest and Pa.

We can’t count on Florida. Maybe Texas goes blue before Florida goes blue again. I just can’t believe that.

10. President Obama won Florida twice, President Clinton won Florida once.

Out of the last 7 presidential elections, democrats have won Florida 3 times, republicans 4 times. The state is third behind California and Texas in electoral votes. Florida is winnable for democrats, it is not a state that we should ignore.

11. I would adjust the score as Gore would have easily won with no cheating

Between designating many African Americans as felons denying them the vote even though they weren't to the intentionally confusing Palm Beach ballot, many Gore votes were stolen. Still, had there been a whole state recount Gore would have won.

13. Actually the bad ballot was in Broward County.

In 2000 and the 2018 election, Broward County made a mess of things with an overly complicated ballot. Broward is a very large and blue county. It seems that they put too many things to vote on in key elections, then try to craft a ballot that hold all of the things to vote for, creating a mess. One solution would be to hold municipal office, bond, and county office elections on dates other than November, as my county does. Our local races are in September and stay off the statewide and statewide/national ballot.

[RockaFowler]

16. Yes, but the 2000 Bad Ballot was in Palm Beach County

Broward didn't have issues in 2000 with ballot design

[Blue_true]

18. I stand corrected. Broward was the issue last November.

At any rate, since both counties lean blue, you can bet republicans are going to make an issue of any ballot snafu.

I don't know whether the elections supervisor in my county is a democrat or republican, all I know is that he runs fair voter registrations and elections and seems to have an organized office.

12. I agree but ignoring Fl.and not counting on it are 2 different things.

IMHO It will be easier to win the Midwest and pa rather than Florida. Both state houses in FL are GOP and both Senators and the Governor.
But your point is well taken.

14. Florida is winnable for us when campaigns canvass the whole state.

The campaigns that lost focus on the big counties and put no resources in the other 58 or so counties in the state. The key to winning Florida overall is holding down the republicans winning margin in red parts of Florida, President Obama did that twice, President Clinton once.

[bronxiteforever]

15. That is interesting. I did not know that.

Thank you-I always learn something here!

[jpljr77]

17. No. Florida is a must-win. If we have to pick just three states to pour resources into, it's MI, PA,

and FLORIDA. None of this Texas/Georgia/N. Carolina talk should creep into our thinking. That's what got us into trouble in 2016 ("Hey, maybe she can pick off Georgia and/or Texas and really run up the score!" and don't pretend those posts didn't happen).

Focus on 270, nothing else matters.

19. No way in hell. Florida voted for Obama twice.

Texas has not voted for the Democratic Candidate since Carter.
