I understand that his own party is starting to scurry like rats heading for the ropes on a sinking ship.
I also understand that members of his own cult think they're part of the majority of voters, but they never were nor or ever will be.
Well you come in the both camp.
Congratulations!
The MSM has said that one needs to find a bridge and jump off it, so I guess you'll be doing it because the MSM said so.
__ Obama wins Florida by 73,189 Votes. That's pretty close in such a BIG State.
Let's look at this "Republican Stronghold.
Collier County Population = 339,642 (2013)
Collier County 2012 Election Results
M. Romney GOP 64.7% 96,508
B. Obama (i) Dem 34.7% 51,678
Early Voting begins tomorrow in Florida. Time to Fire Up the Troops & Get them out to Vote for Sure.
Looks like less than half of Collier County voted in 2012 ....... I expect there is an opportunity there to find some votes.
I can certainly see why these 2-3 a day HUGE Rallies are upsetting to the Leftists.
You will notice that Hillary doesn't go to Florida .... she send a Man to do a Woman's Job.
She sends Obama to Florida.
My guess is that he probably won't get that many extra votes in Collier county. Collier voters are wealthy and tend to vote in elections. Lee county, 20-30 minutes from Naples was probably his target. That's where middle class and working class white people live.
Lee County population: 661,115
Romney ** GOP 57.9% 154,112
Obama ** Dem 41.4% 110,080
However don't get too excited, the democrats are doing their part too and making sure everybody in those blue counties votes this election. Trump also upset many people here with his xenophobic comments so I don't think he has an easy path to victory.
If they force the snow birds to vote in their own state-- he might lose Fl. Darn transplants ! But I'm voting tomorrow, and recommend others not to wait .
And it somehow shocks you that the Media is not reporting on Trump Rallies?
You're clearly not checking the legitimacy of your comments before you post them. The Trump rallies are being covered very extensively. Every day we learn of two or three more times Trump has failed to show the discipline necessary to stay on message - two or three more times he's squandered his opportunity to show true contrition for what he's said and done - and most importantly, two or three more times he's failed to answer the critical questions necessary for his policy perspectives to merit consideration, i.e., how will he pay for what he promises, and/or why he thinks it is better to add so much to the annual budget deficit.
Trump has duped weak-minded sycophants into ignoring the abject vacuousness of his so-called "plans". For example, he's refused to say anything that would lend credibility to his claim that he knows how to handle ISIS. He cynically uses bombastic rhetoric and other bullying methods to manipulate blood-thirsty supporters into ignoring the vapid nature of what he's suggesting, all the while ignoring the legitimate and authoritative condemnations of his so-called "plans".
The most notable news coming out of Trump's rallies is how he is engaging in grievously irresponsible language that is actually fostering an environment within which even those who are doing as you're asking - covering the rallies - are placed in danger of physical harm from Trump's supporters, prompted by Trump to act like juvenile delinquents.
In summary, the media is covering Trump's rallies. They're reporting all the truly important details coming out from those rallies, even if you cannot bring yourself to admit it.
I anticipate that after the election and a Trump loss (which the people behind Trump inside the campaign, his few worker bees he claims he doesn't need/use are now acknowledging) several results will occur--
1--Trump will start his new network which will blame his loss on MSM, even while he attempts to join it
2--He and his children will enrich themselves selling his (down-deep) anti-American/anti-democratic, fascist rant to keep his base percolating for the 2018 election cycle.
3--They will try to coopt the Tea-party wing of the GOP in that effort, putting Ted Cruz in a quandry
4--Trump's followers, his cultists, will feel doubly betrayed by a Clinton win after hearing these mantras about vote-stealing, rigged polls, MSM being anti-Trump (despite the unprecedented % of news cycle focused on Trump) even though the math for a Trump win never really left the starting gate.
5--No matter what Clinton does good, it will never be acknowledged by this unrealistic group who refuse to see any evidence of positive effects from a Democratic, moderate Presidency...
Obama has tried w/o lot of luck to improve lives of Americans but a Republican Congress has been a super-obstruction to any meaningful change. Hard-core Republicans which include many Trump supporters--but they aren't one and same, just refuse to see that blocking jobs/spending bills that could have invested in (re-) building roads, bridges, dams could have put thousands and thousands of people back to work, that putting money into retraining unemployed/under-skilled people could have put them back to work, that an ACA w/o these problems created by letting insurance lobbyists write the legislation would have been better for ALL Americans, including Republicans and Obama-haters. Ignoring climate change as a man-made threat is symptomstic of the same "I can't see the forest for the trees" mindset.
The worst enemy of middle-class and lower class Americans for the past 12 -15 yrs has been the GOP, with its total resistance to any compromise legislation that would allow Democrats to challenge Republicans' power by implimenting any policies outside GOP agenda.
So the die-hard politicians decided to make their stand by touting how they were protecting values and policies while allowing the qualitiy of life for their voters to slip farther and farther away.
Republicans won't acknowledge that blame -- and if they won't them they are doomed to just continuing this self-destructive spin cycle.
Trump is worried about losing Florida? He should have thought about that when he decided to build a campaign on hating Latinos. That might fly in deplorable states, but it's not a winning strategy in most places. For the first time in decades, states like Georgia may vote like California. Who knew Trump would be such an effective unifier?

^^^Excellent comments. If all things go as described above(which is highly likely), then expect to see more Republicans lose seats in congress in the mid-term election cycle in 2018. It will be a continuation of the breaking apart of the GOP and the voters will be sick of "the party of no" doing nothing but complain and finger point.
I will add that I believe Trump will have a fatal heart attack at some point and if this occurs, the Trump TV/hate cycle will be muffled. Althought it's possible another money hungry alt-right media person steps up to fill the void. But if they don't have the base of followers that Trump has, it will be doomed. After all, a cult's leader is paramount to the cult surviving.
