What do you mean by "reform"?

Anyway, part of the reason Florida is increasingly good for the GOP is that Drumpf does not favor privatizing Social Security. That was always the Democrats strongest card in Florida, but for now it's off the table.

The former, though I certainly don't object to the latter.

Reforming means increasing the burden on Wealthy, the cap, that Ronald Reagan passed, in 1986, from its current levels, it needs to be raised.


Biden, Obama, in 2012, championed Healthcare and won the state, it can be won.

Cubans seem to be trending R for some reason.

And the reason is that they suffered Fidel Castro's dictatorship.

How many of them even remember that? Do they really think that social democracy or even social liberalism is closer to Stalinism than White Nationalism is? I really just think that its misleading to consider Cubans "Hispanic".  They aren't really POC and most of them have been born here and many of them probably can't probably speak Spanish.

G.I./Silent retirees being replaced with more conservative Boomer retirees.

It's interesting that red tide didn't cost Scott or DeSantis their elections.

Retirees. This effect was masked in 2016 by Trump's losses with Cubans, but Scott and DeSantis performed normally with them.
lookin @ ur sig rn.

Who's the 2020 nominee in IA sen?

And how much does that candidate win by?

Hard to see this map happening unless Trump is getting wiped out as well (at least by 5, probably 10 if less staying power) statewide too

Florida was alway an R state, if you go back to year 2000. Obama won it twice due to the incumbency factor. Florida isn't California.

Yes, Obama was the incumbent in 2008

(anyways, like FL hasn't noted for the winner in the past 7 elections)

I think it may still be slightly to the left of the nation in terms of voting.

They probably come home with Michigan of Democrats run an OK campaign.
