"Trump is ahead in Florida by the slimmest of slim margins. Yet, with early voting having already begun, a new survey shows that Clinton is comfortably ahead with those who have already voted 55/38—and that 28 percent of Republicans voted for her, according to The Hill."

Red Flag? 28 Percent Of GOP Early Voters Cast Ballot For Clinton In Sunshine State; UPDATE: But Early Voting Not The Best Indicator For Final Results - Matt Vespa (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2016/11/02/red-flag-28-percent-of-gop-early-voters-cast-ballot-for-clinton-in-sunshine-state-n2240450)

Not sure of the validity as these are not my most comfy sites for information and I was told it was much higher (split ballots)

I can add this..yesterday, the early voters in Florida....14% were black and 17% were hispanic. and also thus far in the state 56% of voters were women and 44% men

These last few statistics you can "take to the bank" on accuracy

You just have to pick the candidate that you feel will not be influenced by special interests and make decisions that are not in the best interest of the country.

Well that won't be EITHER the D or R. Trump WILL do what he's told. Hillary WILL do what he's (intentional sp) told. Do you REALLY think they become king and ruler of the world? They become the talking head. They're ALL psychopaths.

BTW, you have an extra "not" in there.

Colin Powell also voted for Obie, twice. I doubt he is a Republican, even if registered as one. Maybe a RINO or maybe just a racist.

I'm not worried about a few establishment elite being petulant. If they don't wish to vote for Trump, that's up to them. However, when it comes down to election day, they will pull the lever for Trump. They wish to keep their jobs, so they know they will have to either s**t or get off the pot. They won't vote for Hitlery. They know she is a traitor and will be prosecuted eventually.

Might as well vote for Trump because it is going to cost the country way too much if Hitlery gets in. Shoot, congress will have her tied up for years, if she is not convicted.

Trump is only getting 70% of the republican vote. To win, he needs to increase that to 90%. Romney got 95% and still lost.

Trump is also only getting 3 % of the black vote. He is shocked, SHOCKED, that all the voting blocks that he has insulted for the last 18 months are not voting for him.

Trump seems to think if Hillary were indicted, women would vote for him. Most women would vote for Charles Manson before voting for Trump.

"Not even Republicans can stomach Trump"

Democrats do well at circling the wagons for their candidates. Witness even Bernie after being deceived by his own party stomped for Hillary. Hillary by every or any measure is not presidential material and possibly a criminal and yet they continue to circle the wagons. They do so because they own her and because they own her they can continue business as usual meaning voters will be ignored after the election and the Obama agenda will be extended and on steroids

Trump on the other hand represents an unknown and uncontrolled candidate. Think about how ineffective the Republican Congress has been against Obama the Terrible. Business as usual cannot continue and in order for that to occur someone like Trump needs to step up. Republicans should have remained united and worked behind the scene to accomplish the party's platform

I have lost all respect for those Republicans who went out of their way to damage Trump because they placed their personal animus over that of working toward a Republican win.

I am especially disgusted with those Republican presidential candidates that pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee and broke their pledge.

No matter how this election turns out the Republican Party has been fractured and you can blame it on all the names the OP produced

Personal Best Regards:

So what are you going to do? Vote for Hillary?

The answer is...NO Ds or Rs. Go down the ballot and vote for ANYONE but the D or R.

Early results indicate the party you are registered not the vote.

That is not done till Tuesday


The Hilly folks ned to watch the Black vote for the first time in decades, Trump is predicted to garner 20-25%
