9. Perhaps when it comes to their Congressional District

they have a point, but as everybody should know, Florida is a swing state, so Presidential votes count big time there. Our job is to get that message out to progressive voters in that part of Florida.

I'm sure there were a lot of GOP voters in 2016 in blue states who said, "Why bother voting for Trump, Hillary Clinton is going to win my state's electoral votes, anyway?" Trump will be only too happy to remind them that he needs their votes, too, because this time he wants a popular vote victory as well as an EC triumph.

Fox News will do everything it can to rally Trump humpers in CA, NY, etc.
