just a few voters in Florida
this is what scares me

...Bloomberg may have a chance here, but most other Democratic candidates have minimal support with the independents.
Young people in Florida don't register, and don't vote. There are marches all the time - MLK, women, indivisible, LGBT, and immigrants. Somehow, most of those people don't vote or their votes are not counted. The independents like those in the video ignore the marches.
The registrations that we do have are pretty evenly split with a third republican, Democratic, and no party. The majority of retirees and wealthy will vote republican, even if they know MF45 is nuts. They do not want anything to interfere with their IRAs or raise taxes. They are terrified of Bernie and Warren. About every other homeowner in my neighborhood is retired and are active donors to the GOP, poll watchers, and registered. There are a solid group of progressives, but the independents are not on board with the Democrats here in my opinion.
The GOP cheats in every election in Florida, so they win every major election by a little.
About 25% (or more now) in Florida were born outside of the US. No one knows exactly how many are undocumented, but the percentage is large, and even the documented have undocumented relatives. They won't vote for the Democrats until there is solid action to protect Dreamers, etc. They would like less talk of M4A, and more about citizenship. MF45 appeals to them because they have jobs - and the repubs here continue to hire illegally. Don't fool yourself! Even the documented want to protect their undocumented relatives. They know that MF45 turns a blind eye to businesses that hire illegally. I've heard more than once that M4A would be a way to track the undocumented!
The crazy ones go to tRump rallies for entertainment. No one else is generating excitement yet.
The video is accurate for many swing voters here (white, working, documented, registered), but doesn't capture a lot of the potential voting population in Florida.
I worked in Florida off and on the last 14 years and did buy a place and lived there for a few months (couldn't handle it longer than that
)
