Prove me wrong. Even if Miami-Dade went same % as 2016, we still lose Florida 2020

[Nimble_Idea]

That means, even winning back the Cuban vote wouldn't be enough to turn Florida.

What does that mean for liddle Mirco come 2022?

1. Say turnout is the same...

So, 1,158,918. It's a big assumption but turnout was up across the board. Let's go with it.

If Biden won Miami-Dade by the margins Hillary did (63-34), he'd pull in 732,667 - or 114,803 votes more than he did.

Trump would have finished with 392,061 votes, or a 140,772 fewer votes than he did.

So, if my math is correct, Trump would have finished with 5,527,959 and Biden would have finished with 5,411,848. So, you are correct, he would have lost the state by roughly 116,000 votes, which would have been very similar to Hillary's margin there four years ago.

2. Convince me

Why we should put any resources back into Florida. We should abandon it and Ohio and focus on GA and NC.

3. This

I'd also add Texas to that list, we keep wasting money and losing.

9. I think TX is a good long term investment

better than Florida believe it or not. TX will be the next Cali before FL ever would (if ever).

[Thekaspervote]

12. I think TX is a waste. We weren't even close. I'd like to see Stacey Abrams or her clone go into

Other southern states with young AA populations, LA, MS, AL

[Nimble_Idea]

10. yeah, dump iowa and ohio, such a waste

and brain dead ideas in south carolina and kentucky. I won't say what I want to say about Maine people, because I'm sure I'd get flagged.

Way forward is
All in with the Blue wall, plus NC, GA, NV, and AZ.

I will leave Florida to Mike Bloomberg and the New Yorkers.

4. Sorry but something went off the rails in the Miami-Dade vote.

There needs to be a serious audit.

The numbers are insane. Anyone who knows anything about Miami-Dade and the Cuban vote has to know this.

[Drunken Irishman]

6. If it's a consolation to you, the #s were very similar to 2004 there.

[Thekaspervote]

13. Yes, thx to the a-hole dejoy! 27% of the mail in vote was lost out of SO FL

[Takket]

5. damn it... i just did all the math and DU ate the post because i "did not enter a subject"

But anyway if Biden pulled the same % of the vote in miami dade as Hillary did, he actually would have won Florida by about 66000 votes. As it is he won MD by about 85000 votes. If we got 64% as Hillary did he would have won by over 300000 votes. if you add 200000 more to Biden and take the same number away from drumpf, drumpf loses.

[Nimble_Idea]

8. go back and do your math homework!

teacher gives no credit unless you show your work. You know this!

[Takket]

15. The DU dog ate it!!! I swear!!! Lol

Seriously though DU shouldn’t be losing posts because people forgot the subject. It should just post without the subject. Why is the subject even necessary anyway??!

7. A Ground Campaign and Rallies might have made a difference

The lack of Ground Campaign was what hurt with Latinos in Texas and Florida the most based on what organizers from the community said .

But the reality is that Florida is just conservative leaning. And tends to be VERY anti tax and anti regulations .

And it doesn't help that people that move to the state tend to be conservative types that go there to get away from taxes and regulations .

11. At our present pace of greenhouse gases, FL has less than a century to exist.

So at what point do we cut and run?

14. Florida is history

Florida just cannot be won. Seniors will vote for GOP from COVID ventilators and Florida Cuban voters and some Hispanics are also moving away. A relative asked me to move to florida. Said I should not worry about global warming. We won't suffer as it will be after decide. Just enjoy Desantis taxes.

Texas was a big defeat for Beto. So sad.

Our state's are GA, AZ, and NC. We are ultimately losing Wisconsin and PA.

We also need to campaign moderately but legislate left. Bernie like candidates do not worry about off year elections and down ballots. GOP has done well bottom up. If GOP had a moderate candidate, we are in trouble. Learn from Bush whom I hated. Campaign as a compassionate conservative, translation moderate, legislate hard right.

16. Still at it, huh?

[In It to Win It]

17. I won't even try

[Laelth]

18. Sadly, I agree.

Florida was a MASSIVE waste of resources this year, and no. It wasn’t even close.

If Bloomberg had dumped that much cash in NC, we’d probably have an extra Senator and an extra state legislature.
