Even after he dumped on them, they still want him in the WH.

if Clinton started pulling away they will slant their coverage to favor Trump (more stories about email or something)... if Trump was ahead they will just let him rant on their TV for a while...

And, in addition to all that, Trump (love him or hate him) is good for ratings, which is why MSNBC has become almost non stop wall to wall Trump.

It voted Obama for President in the same stretch it voted Rick Scott for Governor.

The politics in this state are wacky as hell. Turnout can get funky. The hispanic vote can be unpredictable. It's not a state you want to rely on.

One good thing is that the Democrats don't need it as much as the GOP does. The GOP needs both Florida AND Ohio. And I say this because if we lose Ohio, we won't win Florida.

every time she gets a big ahead like 13 points yesterday
comes a WALL STREET /nbc poll or RASMUSSUN or QUINNIPIAC
to drag the numbers and the average down.
I didn't hear a word about the poll yesterday.
