    You left out the carnage from the lockdowns like more suicides, drug use, bankruptcies and domestic abuse.

    Yeah, but the Biden ad has that covered: “Striking a contrast to the Trump administration, Democrats behind Joe Biden's campaign believe higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations will not slow economic recovery, planning ‘significant income redistribution’ as soon as 2021, The Wall Street Journal reported.” https://www.newsmax.com/politics/taxes-democrats-trillions-taxandspend/2020/05/31/id/969844/

    That would crush our economy, already struggling with the Wuhan Flu. I predict tax receipts would drop if this happened due to a much slower economy. Businesses either pass higher taxes on to the consumer or they have less money for hiring and expansion.

    Yeah, but, the Democrat target audience isn't huge businesses that have the capability of passing on to the consumer, bringing in foreign made products, to maintain their take home pay and hiring and expansion ability, it's the little peoples, the mob, the "suicides, drug use, bankruptcies and domestic abuse," which are not the rich or even small business owners (who are a minority compared to the mob looking for free college...).

    The Mob has been saying for years no economic justice no peace, and the graffiti on walls and boarded up windows in their own hoods prove it.

    Vote Democrat, pay the protection money, or get more.

    The real question is and will enough of their older base, that collect Social Security or worked hard for that small business in the hood, see who the MOB really is, and vote against Biden?

    I think revenue will drop for sure, duly noted I'm self employed, I have fun control over my income with lots of flexibility, I can bump my salary up or down really easily, as it stands i will be maxing out in 2020, but 2021 will depends on who is in charge, it's quite simple.

    I actually heard about this story from my Democrat friend two days before it was published. My friend works for the Party in Broward, but gets all the information for Miami-Dade. Trump only got 333,000 total votes in the county in 2016, and there are currently 310,000 Republicans that have already voted in this election. My friend told me the number of Democrats and Independents are also more friendly to Trump than in 2016, because younger, non-Republican Cubans were more likely to go to the polls with their more conservative families. There numbers on the ground (texting) indicate a lot of Clinton voters went over to Trump. To a lesser extent, the same things have been happening conservative white and Hispanic areas around Broward and Palm Beach.

    There’s still a giant Republican block of voters that are waiting until Election Day to cast their vote. If Democrats are unable to blunt Trump’s voters tomorrow, Trump could win the state by 2-3% just on his significant improvement in the SE part of the State. Republican Super voters currently outnumber Democrats by almost 3-1 in the state, and the vote from outstanding Independent voters the Democrats are targeting looks problematic. Improvements in Tampa and Jacksonville doesn't look like it will be enough.

    And I predict a good number of Democratic votes will be for Trump, like last time.

    I think that'll be true in Miami-Dade, Broward and West Palm Beach, particularly among independent voters. A lot of Jews in my neighborhood have been privately expressing support for Trump, and my Synagogue has definitely become more right-wing due to the protests and anti-Semitism in NY and elsewhere by lefties. It's not even like people in my community are religious Jews.

    However, I'm a bit concerned about other parts of the state where Joe Biden has moderately improved Democrat turnout in comparison to 2016. I can imagine there are also some Republicans and conservative Independents that will vote for Joe Biden in some of these counties. I'd have been extremely worried, and my friend just as excited, if there wasn't an extra 100-150 thousand extra Trump votes in the SE counties.

    Uh, this was on CNN early last week. I saw it on my apple news app on Tuesday. It's OLD news, hence why by Friday you had to search.

    As for not having a ground game, that is partially because they were avoiding spreading COVID, something you and Trump seemed to not consider...despite claiming to be working hard on it...while not working at all on it.

    It's not news that Cubans vote republican. They are two issue voters, they vote for whomever hates their homeland the most and whomever is anti-abortion. That's it. The real question is why should democrats care about those votes? There are other votes in Florida and nothing supports the claims that republicans are outvoting dems 2 to 1.

    The Cuban regime and their homeland of Cuba are two different things.
