What has changed in Florida since Bush gave Bush the election in 2000?

Well, I guess we can discount family favours influencing how votes are counted.

Anything else?

i'm sure Dem heavy areas in Florida will again be waiting 4+ hours to vote... so accidentally...

and granted, that black guy might be standing around the polling place in Philadelphia

and of course rampant fraud voting will be alleged by Trump

To be serious.

It lacks consumer spending. Lots of reasons for that. Crap pension schemes would be one (once you leave the workforce you are done as a consumer)

But most of all, high income disparity.

Rich people invest most of their income. A Gini coefficient of 50 gives a service sector of 52%.

Better income transfers would see the service sector expand dramatically.

Jergul. Ok, cause I was rather lost on that post...im.guessing Mexico?

Fla and Pa IMO will be the deciding factor.

I know PA well having lived there over 30 years ( im 34)

Honestly his best bet is low voter turn out in the cities....Philly is not Trumpland, however thats more on tue dems to get someone to energize the vote AOC would help Bernie. Biden would do well in Philly but not great...tough call.


As for Tom wolf, he is a Democrat that I could* vote for...he is excessive on taxes but other than that I like the guy.

Reduced stupid regulations gor business. Infrastructure investment and his pot law is seems to be the best proposal ive seen anywhere making sure it doesnt get taken over by corporations, keeping it competitive and supporting small business.

Democrats can win without Florida. Trump cannot. He can't win without Wisconsin either.

This is the closest election where Trump wins: https://www.270towin.com/maps/mPdJD

It is very easy to suppress the democratic vote because they tend to be concentrated in cities. The GOP did so to great effect by closing polling places and cutting days to vote for almost the entirety of the 2010's.

The Democrats control Wisconsin's executive offices now so their chance of stealing Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania is almost zilch.

And Democrats are on the offense in Arizona, North Carolina, Iowa, and yes, Florida too.

Even Texas and Georgia and Ohio would be in play if the economy hits a recession.

"Trump cannot."

As I said, there is a path to victory without Florida, but it is more difficult, as it involves capturing the other swing states and a traditionally blue-purple state.

It becomes a lot easier to speculate when we know the Democratic candidate...until then its so let based on Trump.

I mean at this point I think it's either Biden or Sanders.

That said what is the Bloomberg factor. Trump/rnc has way more loot than either sanders or Biden BUT Bloomberg has a personal rivalry with Trump and has vowed to spend his ass off against Trump even if he is out of the race.

Up until Bloomberg stepped up with 200 million Trump was way ahead of Dems on fundraising.

Bloomberg spent so much they said he has raised the cost of ads in several mediums.

The funny thing about Trump is its hard to be in the media as much as he is, even more so than previous inucumbents.

Hillary way out spent Trump, something he even bragged about because of his use of free media attention even liberal news stations would cover more.... Estimates are Hillary got 2.2-3 billion in free media.

Trump is estimated to have gotten 5-7billion in free media.So much so he bucked the trend and actually reduced campaign spending from previous ones.

He will say some outlandish shit or mock a crippled reporter , call Mexicans rapists who will pay for his wall and bam people want to see it.

It makes me wonder about the Bloomberg effect. Spending 200 million is a lot for any candidate, and his ads are not really so much pro bloomberg as they are anti Trump. He knows he has little to no chance of winning but he wants to beat Trump ( they've had a rivalry for years) so.much so he has distorted the market, which got me thinking.

Hypothetically what would the Bloomberg effect have had on the 2016 election?

Well in spending

Trump-$400 million

Clinton-$770 million

Free media


Trump- 6 billion

Clinton- 3 billion

And that was with Obama in the White House giving a lot to Hillary in free media and I rounded all figures up giving a small net boost to her.

That said Bloomberg could actually hurt the chances of Democrats who other than him will have much less to spend than Trump in traditional terms and then having to pay even more for the ads since the costs have risen.

Doea anyone argue Trump will gain even more free coverage? I think Thats a given.

Jergul, Actually if Trump were to lose I would rather have Sanders than any other.

Biden is an idiot and a puppet.I don't despise him though.

Warren is a scumbag on par with Hillary imo.Bloomberg is to.

I agree that single payer HC is better than our current system. Just as a person I like Bernie, he is genuine.


I personally think that Biden or Sanders will lose to Trump but that Sanders would actually do better and heres why.

Most of these polls ask peoples opinions, its much more important to see who is exciting, no one is excited about voting for Biden, Sanders can excite the base.

Thats Trumps ace in the whole though, his base loves him and will turn out in droves. Thats a lot of the reason reps are lock in step with him, he is much more liked than the tepublican party on the whole...his approval rating is almost double that of Congress.

A big draw for Trump is that ( to me and many others) he is genuine.

I know that seems odd for most of the left but I think Dennis Miller comparing Trump and Hillary explained it well.

As crude as Trumps outside voice is i think its the same as his inside voice, he always tells the truth, even when he lies.

Hillary's in side voice hasnt ever even had a cup of coffee with her outside voice.

Sanders has that same sort of genuineness.

Ive given up on federal voucher system HC in the US, the next best thing is single payer....even Milton Friedman claimed this.

Ive also favored major changes in education, reigning in these BS degree factories and free/ affordable college...

The specifics on both of these .eed there own thread to get into any more detail.

You still fail to understand Trump's genius.

The growth is going to be incredible. And at the right time, we will take a look at that. You know, that’s actually the easiest of all things, if you look, cause it’s such a—

Trump then wandered off into a string of false and incoherent claims about the economy."

The Fake News LA Times says "incoherent;" I call it brilliance. He simultaneously managed to placate Republican mega-donors by expressing support for entitlement reform, and at the same time gave the Democrats nothing solid to use against him (try getting a TV-friendly soundbite for Democratic attack ads to use out of that, I dare you).

There's truly a method to the madness, I tell you.

"Mike Bloomberg is attacking President Donald Trump in his safe space.

On Thursday morning, the Democrat premiered his newest ad attacking the president on “Fox & Friends,” Trump’s favorite program that frequently lavishes praise on him. Adding insult, the show also interviewed Bloomberg’s top presidential campaign adviser, Kevin Sheekey.

Story Continued Below

Trump, who’s known to record the show and watch it later in the morning, exploded an hour-and-a-half later, at 8:25 a.m.

Story Continued Below

“Mini Mike Bloomberg is playing poker with his foolhardy and unsuspecting Democrat rivals. He says that if he loses (he really means when!) in the primaries, he will spend money helping whoever the Democrat nominee is,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

“By doing this, he figures, they won’t hit him as hard .... during his hopeless ‘presidential’ campaign,” Trump wrote. “They will remain silent! The fact is, when Mini losses, he will be spending very little of his money on these ‘clowns’ because he will consider himself to be the biggest clown of them all — and he will be right!”

It’s the latest example of how a plank of Bloomberg’s campaign revolves around agitating the president, who has increasingly begun criticizing his former mayor from New York, a self-made billionaire who has spent years belittling Trump as a bad businessman and reality TV star.

Bloomberg also made sure to match Trump in advertising during the Super Bowl, a roughly $10 million endeavor for both campaigns.

And when Bloomberg first announced, one of the first places he bought ad time was in the West Palm Beach, Fla., media market so Trump might see the ad as he visited his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.

Bloomberg’s ads are hard to miss. He has so far spent a jaw-dropping $250 million on TV commercials, many of them attacking Trump. In a primary that’s focused on defeating the incumbent, being on the receiving end of Trump’s ire is seen by many Democratic voters as a positive. As a result, Bloomberg has started to climb in polls of both the crowded Democratic primary and in general election matchups against Trump.

Earlier this month, another Bloomberg ad prompted a testy and inaccurate response from Trump over health care, a sore spot for the president in his own internal polling.

“I’ll be honest, we wish he wouldn’t do that and give Bloomberg a platform. We shouldn’t give him relevance,” said a political adviser to Trump who did not want to be identified criticizing the president’s Twitter use.

A consistent theme of Bloomberg’s ads about Trump revolve around his stability, with the latest commercial pointing out how the president recently lashed out at military advisers. When Trump angrily responds, Bloomberg’s advisers say, it helps drive home the Democrat’s message.

"Less than an hour after releasing an ad calling out Trump's erratic behavior, he responds erratically,” Bloomberg spokeswoman Galia Slayen said. “So yeah, I'd say we're getting under Trump's skin.""

It'll be a turnout war. Trump stays in the band of 40-42% and 52-55% disapproval. Let's be generous and says there is a shy Tory effect and his real approval is basically the same as his topline from the 2016 election: 46%. There are paths to victory with that kind of topline and it'll basically be the same kind of narrow victory he won in 2016. He's way too underwater in Pennsylvania and Michigan to win them again. This election's focal point will be Wisconsin and Iowa.

The bottom might fall out too if the dumbass Republican senators acquit him and then he gets caught in obvious criminality again.

Jews just naturally gravitate towards positions of power (doctors, lawyers/judges, politicians, bankers, entertainers, etc.). It's a function of their innate drive to get revenge on the Gentiles by hijacking control of our countries in order to replace native Christian beliefs with their Judeo-Marxist values.

Gays are attention whores who think the universe revolves around them (oh you like getting a dick in the butt? We need to celebrate you for being so brave and progressive!). That sort of mentality works well with professions like celebrity and politics.

1) Social Selection: Dumb Jews and Jews in rural areas get either killed or excluded historically. Cities tended to put them in ghettos which limited their occupations to lawyers, bankers, etc ... Any job you can work inside a city with a lot of people where competition ensures you only care about the best person for a job and not what their fucking background is.

Not touching the rest, it's just racist moron garbage.
