2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: This site has become my salvation. [View all]Pacifist Patriot
(24,912 posts)16. Floridian here who has minor concerns, but is overall optimistic.
I've been following the mail in and early voting returns in my county. So far, if Others split 50/50 (and I think they'll skew Democrat and vote third party leaving Trump with less than 50% of that group), the Dems vote for Secretary Clinton, and just 12% of Republicans cross the aisle, we've got it. And in a county that went solidly for Romney in 2012.
I'm not a professional statistician, but something in my gut tells me we're going bright Blue as a state this time. I think there are a lot of people assumed to be voting for the Toxic Tangerine who are keeping silent and voting Dem in the privacy of the voting booth.
