    I will not believe it until it happens. Just like Texas. But if she does win, I am willing to bet it comes along with additional house seats.

        I live in Miami and i hate to report that it’s going swimmingly well for the GOP. There’s a culture down here that anything even looking like it might be confused with a leftist policy is immediately labeled COMMUNIST and hated with incessant fervor. No one dares be seen as a Castro-fellating leftist scumbag so they’re constantly virtue signaling how republican they are. Same with anything the Catholic church doesn’t like as there are lots of Catholics here and they vote as they’re told. The result is you’re as likely to see a Trump sign in a million dollar yard as a broke-ass apartment complex. Spanish-language talk radio here is so far to the right it wants to harvest the poor for their organs and bone marrow.

        If Florida goes for Harris I will be legitimately amazed. Thrilled, no doubt, but amazed.

          You can virtue signal about being a Republican as much as you want and still vote Democrat. Nobody knows which box you actually checked. I don’t know how common it is but I’m 100% sure it happens. Politics and religion are social clubs for a lot of people.

        Doesn’t FL have a significant Haitian population too? I wonder how the pet-eating comments went over with them?

          Considering that 100% of republican voters shoot themselves in the foot by voting republican, any haitians who are republican would not be put off by it in the slightest. Trump is openly contemptuous of all his supporters. They thank him for shitting in their mouths.
