One thing we did not mention, Florida easily passed a $15 minimum wage while voting against the socialist Biden.
Raises the minimum wage to $10.00 per hour effective September 30th, 2021 and then increases it annually by $1.00 per hour until the minimum wage reaches $15.00 per hour in 2026 and then reverts back to being adjusted annually for inflation.

I wonder how many voters voted for Trump and left the rest of the ballot empty.
Yep, I just am wondering the thought processes of those voting yes to raising the minimum wage and voted for Trump. I do not think a single Republican here has ever favored such an increase.
Maybe, but those were the people the heavy "Biden is a socialist" commercials were aimed at. I was searching Florida news sites for turnout stories, one news site headline, "socialism on the ballot" referring to the ads on Biden.
Trump will be the new Bull moose candidate-that did not turn out so well for Roosevelt or Taft.
I could be wrong but I think that it’s a right to work state plays a part too. My uncle owns an asphalt company. His guys do pretty well. Over $20 an hour. Jobs in Stl like that pay peanuts in fla. I think that factors in.

And Georgia has a guy that thinks Guam can tip over if marines get stationed there. There are plenty of cancelling anecdotes.
Pretty hungover today, but even through the fog... looking @ GA returns and outstanding vote. Seems quite likely Biden wins when all said and done.
26% of Floridians earn less than $10/hour. I'm guessing at least some of them are Republicans, but I can guarantee virtually all of them think their pay sucks.
I agree is not someone I think as a conservative. He’s a play for pay kind of guy. He probably would have made a good attorney but likely would have been disbarred kind of like a Michael Avanetti.
My parting shot here. The Trump followers had the D choices of Clinton and then Biden. Aside for other issues one could pick regarding these candidates, they are both moderate left of center. Trump is the extreme candidate. He’s likely a sociopath and many picked him twice.
Given the loss of seats, yes, she should go. She will not, but she should.
More like the Bull $h!t party, amirite?
(I'm not proud. I really tried to resist that low-hanging fruit.)
I'll tell you what...when Biden wins Arizona and Nevada, you can have PA. Hell, after Biden wins Georgia, you can Wisconsin back, too.
S-s-s-h-h. For God's sake, dont tell them! Nevada is the state that matters most right now.
If we're lucky, they'll waste their time there and Trump will foolishly up his campaign budget in Michigan.
If that were turned around, and some one found a batch of 23k ballots and 100% were Trump votes would you raise an eyebrow, or no?

He’s an extreme asshole. His positions aren’t extreme.
His immigration stance (both legal and illegal) is far removed from Reagan. Reagan also opposed trade wars against allies, https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ronald-reagan-demagogues-trade-war/
These are good ideas, but instead of an age restriction, I'd prefer a stupidity or common sense test, if we had one. Ruth Ginsburg was old too but never seemed incompetent to me.
Besides the age thing, I don't get the hating on Nancy. I think she's badass.
Jesus. Trump camp has to be getting a little nervous about PA/ GA. Biden is hawking him like DK Metcalf.
You would think Steve Cortes could afford a better dry erase board.
Nevada, Georgia, and yes, Pennsylvania will push Biden to 306.
Might take some wind out of the sails of the lawsuits if it's NOT 270-268.

Anyone who thinks Trump’s family separation policy wasn’t extreme needs to readjust their moral compass.
Seems weird, but it's unlikely that it's fraud, for the simple reason that it's unlikely someone would be stupid enough to commit fraud like that in a way that would raise so many red flags. Most likely it's simply a side effect of the way votes are reported.
I had calmed down today thinking this was essentially in the bag. Now Steve Kornacki is showing me how AZ and NV may not be as solid a lock as I thought. OTOH, he's also showing me how we still actually do have a chance in GA. Now my guts are churning and my bowels are in an uproar. I'm going to see if the ol' battleax has any of her good meds she can spare. Fvck.
GA SOS says there are 122,535 ballots left to be counted. Trump currently has a lead of 39,811. That means Biden needs to win 66.25% of the outstanding vote to win the state.
