Trump Surges Way Ahead in Floridahttps://politicalwire.com/2016/01/20/trump-surges-way-ahead-in-florida/
SNIP...........
new Florida Atlantic University poll in Florida finds Donald Trump leading the GOP presidential field with 48% support among likely Republican voters, followed Ted Cruz at 16%, Marco Rubio at 11% and Jeb Bush at 10%.
Said pollster Kevin Wagner: At this point, Donald Trump is simply crushing the opposition in the Florida Republican primary. Not only has he increased his lead, Mr. Trumps favorability ratings among Republicans are now ahead of his competitors by a substantial margin.

(12,132 posts)I live and work near OIA and see some Bernie stickers too but way more trumps than I want to.
My grandpa lives in Seminole county and I always thought of it as a little more conservative. His Obama yard signs got stolen several times and while we were up there a few weekends ago cooking out some one left nasty post-it notes on my aunt's (heavily Obama stickered) car complaining about how she should be ashamed to have those stickers. We never did figure out which neighbor it was.
But whatever neighbor it was is gonna haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate when I move there lol.

He's been passing out ceramic (?) turtles to people in Iowa and New Hampshire. Evidently symbolic of the tortoise and the hare story, with Jeb playing the slow but eventually triumphant turtle.
Maybe he should pass out he-coon ceramics instead.

(18,318 posts)It's those favorability ratings: the average GOPer likes his stink, now, and that is unlikely to change.
What is important now is to defeat him in the general election. Act accordingly.

(39,343 posts)I'm down here in Florida Man Land and lemme tell you, his batshit crazy Authoritarianism will go over great down here. All of these mental pipsqueaks will love being told what to do from Trump, who only speaks in bumper stickers. It doesn't require them to have to think, and that's how we like things down here.
