Here's one way I believe early voting numbers are not being taken into account.

As of this morning according to MSNBC Democrats had 40% and Republicans had 40% in the State of Florida.

But what those numbers don't tell you is how they voted. Yes there is a anti Hillary movement but there's also a anti Trump movement and on top of that, there is the women vote (democrats and Republicans). Sure as I am the sun is going to shine tomorrow, I know there will be more Republican woman voting for Hillary than there will be Democratic women voting for Trump.

That's my take and I'm sticking to it.

IMHO NO woman (and no man for that matter) should vote for Trump or the repug/thugs

My personal circle of acquaintances does not make a statistically significant number, but I know at least five registered Republicans who proudly voted for Secretary Clinton last week here in Florida.

And I'm holding out hope that the other 20 percent comprised of Independents, NPAs, and a smattering of other parties are not leaning towards the Toxic Tangerine.

I know I have nothing to back it up, but I just have this gut feeling Florida is not only going to go Blue, but solidly so.

They want to latch onto one thing and make that the critical factor. When it is not.

If Trump hadn't slashed at Latinos/Hispanics.
If Trump hadn't demeaned women.
If Trump hadn't made fun of the disabled.
If Trump hadn't opposed the LBGT community and made Pence is VP.
If Trump hadn't diminished the worth of immigrants.
If Trump wasn't going to trial for raping a child.
If Trump hadn't gone into bankruptcies.
If Trump hadn't been conspiring with the Russians.

All of those and more peel voters away from what should be his supporters.
