Florida thoughts about Ryan

To pick Ryan, Mr "I will kill social security" is suicide. To pass over Rubio to do it, worse. This panics me, because the only way they would throw away Florida is if they think Rick Scott has it rigged.

2. The Only Way They Would Pick Ryan At All is If They Know Florida, Ohio, and PA are In the Bag

There is no attempt to reach out to swing voters or moderates at all. Only their lunatic base.

They know they cannot win the election, so they plan to steal it, and they need their base energized to pull it off.

They intend to steal FL, OH, and PA outright. Probably WI and MI as well. If they can do that, they "win".

We have to find some way to stop them.
