but who the **** knows

what do you figure has changed?

NC it's technically a swing state too but I'm pretty confident Trump will win pretty much the entire South.

I don't think so, with regard to Florida. It's been a swing state for as long as I remember. It was never solidly blue. And in terms of state government it's always been red from what I recall.

1) I don't believe that snow birds moving down there is any sort of new thing or that it's changed much in recent years. If anything it slowed down due to rising real estate prices and the housing crash.

2) If you look at the map for the results, Trump lost in South Florida by a significant margin. He lost the county he has his resort in, Palm Beach. He lost in Orlando and Tampa areas. He won the state by a little less than 1%, which is around what Obama won by in 2012. It's likely that Hillary could've won Florida if she was an even slightly better candidate.

Also according to Google Trump won Texas by 9%. I don't see Bernie changing that.

And Bernie would probably do worse in Florida than a moderate would by scaring the old people and alienating the Cuban and Venezuelan refugees who have a visceral reaction to the word socialism.

I think I heard Michigan's gov just endorsed Biden

Warren needs to endorse Bernie and Bernie needs to take off the kids gloves with Biden and stop preambling every meek attack on Biden with "Joe's a good friend of mine." No he's not. Grow a pair ffs.

I'm still hanging to my original prediction.

If Biden beats Bernie then I think Trump will win.

WWWP 03-05-2020 03:23 PM

Trump is going to win anyway.

we might be dummies trying to predict anything anymore

Is that for me?

Fact: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will turn 35, the minimum age required to serve as president, on Oct. 13, 2024.
