What's this?

Trump has gone/is going all out in Florida, and he seems to be

flopping. (Having said that Florida always goes to the Republicans by a per cent. I get that.)

He changed is address to Florida. He moved the convention there. He's praised DeSantis on several occasions. He's booked $40M in ads there, more than in MI, WI, and PA combined. Winning Florida is of absolute importance to him, and, imo, he has zero chance to win again if he cannot win Florida's EC votes.

The numbers are not looking good for him. He's not popular. Joe is absolutely his biggest Florida nightmare come true as Joe can truly compete in the Shuffleboard Demo with him as no other Dem could. The attacks on Joe's age and slowing down won't be seen kindly in the Villages. And with the approval rating of DeSantis souring quickly and substantially, Don won't find a lot of quarter there either.

Florida could turn a possible defeat into a landslide loss in the White House race. It will receive a disproportionate amount of his attention through November.

Do you also believe fewer tests would mean fewer infections. -- WaxHoo 07/24/2020 10:56AM

Huh? How does my argument approach that level. -- BocaHoo91 07/24/2020 11:14AM

Whatever. They got it under control. They showed the country -- 111Balz 07/24/2020 10:33AM

Where in Florida or Arizona have infection rates gotten anywhere near 25%? -- BocaHoo91 07/24/2020 10:39AM

Miami Dade County? Here is a link. You can look up -- 111Balz 07/24/2020 10:45AM

That's 33% of people tested, not 33% of the population. -- BocaHoo91 07/24/2020 10:49AM

But those estimates are based on the percent of people tested there. -- 111Balz 07/24/2020 10:55AM

Right. But you're comparing total apples and oranges. -- BocaHoo91 07/24/2020 11:11AM

I get your point About the testing samples And that makes sense -- 111Balz 07/24/2020 12:45PM
