As far as OH, MI, PA and WI? If he doesn't come through on the massive amount of high-paying promised jobs, he can kiss those people good by as well.

His rock solid cult who adore his personality are not enough to keep him afloat.

But you can not say that most of the transplants and snow birds who make Fl their primary residence, even if only here a short time, are not republicans. There was a time where only republicans you could find were the Miami Cubans.

Not saying you are wrong. Been here only 6 years so I can't speak to the voting demographics.

It is good that so much Republican leadership such as the house speaker and vice-president is from the Middle-of the country.
That is true.

They don't need facts.

They don't need explanations of policy plans.

They don't need articulate speakers.

They don't need intelligence.

They don't need serious news sources.

Quite an easy audience of suckers.
They don't need fake politicians. Trump 2020!

It's an issue of perceived popularity that evaporates at the voting both for the primaries. It's not policy but the will of the party voters. If there is a good moderate option I'll side Republican to vote them as the candidate over Trump.
