You can bet on it.

Didn't he show up with his Secret Service in Louisiana after the governor asked him to stay away so they could focus on the relief efforts?

I'm pretty sure I saw a photo op with him giving away Play-Doh and some other toys. Though I assume he also brought blankets, and socks, and so forth.

Never thought I write this, but posts like this are getting me to wonder whether there ought to be some sort of mental health exam before being allowed to vote.

If he comes to my neighborhood he better be ready for a swift kick in the nuts for his disrespect to POWS, for vets with PTSD, for Gold Star Families, and for the wide variety of other patriotic Americans.

Our office has 1 maybe vote for Hillary and everyone else is Trump all the way!

The Trump rally's were all full with enthusiastic Trump fans and unfortunately not everyone could get in and that many times over!

Keep dreaming...

Trump!
So your method for determining a winner is to count yard signs, rally enthusiasm and a poll of your office? How embarrassing. I live in rural of MD and judging from signs and conversations I had in my area I was pretty convinced that I was the only person in the entire room that was voting Democrat in the last 2 elections. Obama won Maryland with 62% vs. 36% in both elections.

Imagine plenty of them will make a point of voting.
Actually, Cuban Americans aren't the overwhelming majority of the Hispanic voters in Florida anymore. There's been a big increase in Puerto Ricans in Florida, especially in the last couple of years where many are leaving the island due to tough economic conditions there. Also, Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and they can instantly register to vote. Many of them live in central Florida, the I-4 corridor. They're not inclined to vote for Republicans much.

Even the Cuban American voters are less and less reliably Republican today compared with the past.

That is totally not going to work. Palm Beach County needed supplies yesterday not tomorrow.

Bad neighbor Trump was nowhere in the vicinity of his home helping anyone with anything. That jerk could have been a hero by bringing in hard to find supplies yesterday or today, if he ever thought about anyone besides himself. Never even occurred to him, I'm sure. Water, bread, batteries and hurricane shutter bolts were nowhere to be found and neither was Trump.

He obviously could not care less about his neighbors as he is obviously not a man of the people.

Helicoptering in to Maralago with Play-Doh and water after the danger and shortages pass will not gain him any admirers here.

Floridians aren't that stupid. They know a photo op when they see one.

Hell yes! That, and an IQ test should be mandatory.

Have to disagree with you there, Cali Doll. I know a lot of people who wouldn't score too high on an IQ test yet have Trump's number.

I stand corrected! Just implement the sanity check.
