Actually, the vote percentage is, in round numbers......and this is as of just a few hours ago

....33 % of all votes to be cast in Florida have been cast

.....total of 31 million votes

.....as of this morning....only 30 thousand votes seperate the two parties.

Wondering how many split ballots, ie....Repubs going for Clinton or Dems for Trump

I am a registered Democrat and voted for Hillary. My husband a registered republican voted for Hillary. My friend's husband who last voted for a Democrat was JFK and he voted for Hillary. There is no way of knowing who people are voting for until the results are announce election night.

You are right. It will be interesting when all is done and we hear what happens on split ballots, but I have heard a number of stories similar.

My info on numbers early voting is accurate. My source is impeccable.

Drain the swamp

Explain what this means please.

Are you saying that you endorse the Republican candidate be elected and then "drain" other Republicans who control congress ?

Just never understood what it actually means.

Hmmm. Drain the swamp...........

I think it means that many of us want to be free of the tyranny of political correctness and being pushed around by the liberal press. I think it means that the hard working class who in some cases have become wealthy because of that practice are sick of being criticized for their traditional views. I think it means that we would like to steer clear of those who would allow dangerous terrorists into this country when we are at war with them. I think it means that we are tired of subsidizing druggies and thugs.

That's exactly what it means. Get rid of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and all the other do-nothings. Send Yoho back to looking up the rear-end of a southbound mule.

Based on your post and the previous....

....how does a President Trump get one single thing done if he is "draining the swamp". Congress is vital and if he is undercutting them, jus freeze.

.....Also on the media covered in the first post. Are you suggesting we amend the constitution and simply block the media ?

I listen but none of it makes one bit of sense at all.

Again, are you suggesting we abandon freedom of the press ?

Are you suggesting we also amend that document and cut out congress from making decisions ?

I don't get it. Used to be, and I can recall when it changed but you would not like it, that we settled and compromised..

That ceased during John Biehner's term when his party said..no more compromise. I am one of this Republicans but my party is the one who ceased to try to win support and simply began to say no and stop listening.

Seems to me we are now throwing a temper tantrum saying we are not going to talk, we will not compromise. It is our way or the highway.

Listen, the Republicans (most) stopped immigration reform, the Republicans (until the last year) flat out refused to offer an alternative to Obamacare, .....point is your anger. Is simply saying..it's my way or the highway.

The Republicans had potential candidates and they were shot down.

Ask speaker Boehner and I suspect he would tell you he saw this coming.

I am sorry...I still believe in total and complete freedom of the press....I still believe in compromise....I stilll believe in DEMANDING character in those we entrust our country to.

We have two lousy candidates, but suggesting that a corrupt, insane man like Trump fills any voids is simply insane as he is.

While your response is pretty snarky and wise a$$, I will try and respond as politely as possible.

I used to watch Fox on a fairly regular basis, but in the last 18 months or so they have changed.

I am a conservative, BUT NOT a radical or extremist. I do not like or believe in such extremism.

I suppose that when Mr Trump calls out the "rigged media" or a poster on here says that "draining the swamp" means not allowing the "media to push us around".....my supposition is that those comments are aimed at everybody BUT Fox. I suppose they are aimed at websites EXCEPT the Breitbart of the world.

I oft times do not like how the media acts, but suppose that has always been the case, but I never felt "pushed around" or want the press to do anything but what they do. Fox as of present seems to want to "push" around folks so I do what I always do...change channels thus I never get pushed around. The search for facts isn't supposed to be easy, but I suspect those wishing for this country to go back in time just do not want to do that.

Supporting a man with no moral code whatsoever is astonishing to me.

Being opposed to someone like Clinton is certainly understandable.

I support USA and despite his words, Trump does not. That, of course is my opinion, but based in actual history of actual actions I think it is well founded. Getting the next four years ever with and surviving is my goal.

Hoping our "leaders" understand that the best course might not be only yours but compromise oft times gets you there.

I don't know what FOX you were watching, but in my opinion, they are too liberal for me. Shoot, they are harder on Trump than they are on little miss helpless granny, Hitlery.

Yeah, well so would I.....and...

I would like a campaign based on what I am for, not against.

I would like SOME consideration be given to a man who has a past track record..,not maybes...a validated track record as a despicable human being, a con artist, a liar.

In my opinion, he is totally insane.

But we got is simply trash Clinton, and trust me I am not defending, and inherently support sheer unadulterated hate and respect for anyone who does not lock step agree.

I have a feeling that your "center" would be construed as somewhat left of center by the average conservative.

IMO we are a country of center to left with most on the left. I see no one on the right or even right of center, least of all our elected officials in congress.

Larger voter base. In the old days, you were given the day off to vote. Not anymore. It is convenient to have early voting. I don't really see a problem with it.

The problem with it has just been revealed as FBI Director Comey has announced that the are reopening an investigation on Secretary Clinton based on newly discovered evidence.

I think that everyone who has voted should be given the option to vote again.

I believe in three states you can recast your vote.

Starting as of this morning (sat) Florida voting.....

40.8 % cast by Republican registered voters

40.3 % cast by Democratic registered voters

18.9 % cast by NPA (non party affiliated)

Huge percentage of NPA are new Hispanic registrations

jimbo2012 10-29-2016 04:03 PM

this cycle many are registered with one party but voting opposite, we did

Since most independents like me vote Trump, thank you for confirming a Trump landslide.

But some of us have known it would be a Trump landslide all along.

And we have yet to see the emails concerning Hillarys Parkinson's.

Even being aware of your childish simple minded trolling, I will indulge you for a bit.

Thus, supply credible evidence on ANY sickness about Clinton, and of course we won't call the insane rankings of your hero as credible.

BUT while we ar at it, we haven't seen those tax returns yet, nor has he responded to the growing list if Trump foundation questions.

I might add that your reading comprehension is a bit skewed in your simple minded interpretation of the early voting. Not being as stupid and presumptive as you, I assume nothing but your response indicates a basic lack of any reading comprehension.

"Donald Trump is professionally unqualified and psychologically unstable and too unpredictable to be the president. Enabling Donald Trump to win the election — either by voting for him or for a third-party candidate, or abstaining from voting, makes one complicit in creating the social order a Trump presidency would spearhead. One far more depressing and dangerous than the dystopian America he currently portrays.

Trump's campaign behavior clearly demonstrates his inability to provide leadership in a deliberative democracy. Trump not only lacks the knowledge and experience to discuss just about any subject that matters in governance, but his unpredictable temperament and lack of self-control make him vulnerable to deflections and baiting by his opponents."

Hispanics are almost a majority in Florida. And they're becoming the majority in many states.

I know many hispanics voting for trump. The vast majority of Cubans are vocally pro trump, but I know others that are in the silent majority that will only be vocal in the voting booth.

it is expected that Trump gets about 25% of black voters

Any idea who will be the Democrat choice for president? After all, shouldn't she be incarcerated BEFORE she is elected rather than America going through the scandal of having the first female president going to jail in disgrace?

I like you and therefore am rooting for Chicago, but I would not put good money on them as I have on trump.

Maybe a token bet for luck.
