I think Floridas a terrible play, the only state they shouldn’t sleep on is AZ as it shows in so many winning electoral combos for the Reps

I don’t disagree but making the republicans spend money in Florida also prevents them from spending elsewhere.

The Florida Democratic Party is the most disorganized inept of all the state parties. Trust nothing anyone representing it says.

It’s the FL JV GOP

Gusano Cubans will never vote anything but the most fascist conservative option available, and Trump already has a majority of both white male and female bloks in florida... And that's without mentioning the corruption in FL's government.

Some recent polls put florida at only trump+2 or trump+3 . There's a rather realistic case where polling error underestimating dems by 2% or more could make it a tight race

Polling errors over estimating republican by that much have happened in the past. In 2012, republicans were overestimated for president by on average by 2.5%

Doesn’t FL also have an abortion ballot initiative and a recreational cannabis ballot initiative this election?

They indeed do
