But the Dems are pulling money from backing Murphy thinking I guess that Repubs will just skip the top choice and vote rest of ticket straight R...
Think Rubio is vulnerable but Murphy just can't seem to catch fire

Because she's not a clown running a circus.

Default Trump is so worried he's going to lose Florida

No need to worry about it, FL is lost. So is NC. And PA was never anything but a pipe dream. This election will be decided way before bedtime on the 8th.

While Hillary concentrates on where to get votes (or cash), Trump is concentrating on reaching out to Americans with his message and introducing them to the movement. Trump appreciates those that support him enough to take time to show up to their towns. I think it is great! He also sends a lot of surveys/polls to subscribers of his website asking what we want.

Trump is just being decent and not playing favorites, not really playing a game at all.
Right, as in not trying to win an election but build a hardened base that he can market to. I agree.

I think he goes there because he knows he's liked and Trump likes only good feedback. It's certainly not gaining him any new voters. He needs to be in Central and South Fla, but has barely been there. He likes to stay in his feel-good bubble.

Not only that, despite the Trump campaign promising to open 25 field offices in Florida, they've still got one. In Sarasota. This is one of the stupidest moves of his campaign.

He doesn't need an office in Sarasota. These people will get out and vote, and they'll vote for him--super conservative, super white, mostly retired electorate. They are very predictable with voting.

They have no offices where they actually need them. This is a reflection of a disorganized campaign and a need to feel secure in their bubble.

While Hillary Clinton touts 51 Florida field offices, Donald Trump still has just one | Tampa Bay Times

Trump is basically going on a concert tour as opposed to actually doing the work of winning an election.

You're right but I won't be able to help myself. I will be glued to foxnews and can't wait to watch their whining after the result comes in.

1 new FL poll release either today or yesterday has Rubio and Murphy tied(Fox 13 poll, I think). Another newer (CBS/yougov) has Rubio +2. Qunnipiac has Rubio +2. This is a major improvement for Murphy and he appears to be on the upswing.

30% of FL voters never heard of Murphy which might explain his polling results.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that many voters will choose Murphy when they see the D next to his name when they are casting their vote for Clinton. And maybe some Trump followers hate Rubio because he is 'establishment' and because he said Trump had small hands.

Maybe Murphy can pull off a surprise win, mostly by being down ticket from Clinton and having a large turnout. I haven't completely lost hope, although it appears that Rubio is more likely to win.

It looks like Trump is going to lose Florida if you go by the polls. Clinton is ahead by 4 in FL in nearly all the FL polls over the past 2 weeks.
