Trump In Serious Trouble As Florida Seniors Abandon Him

Elderly voters in Florida have always given Republicans the edge. But now that they see how Republicans are willing to let them die for the economy without a second thought, they are starting to realize that they are backing the wrong Party. Florida's seniors have now opened their eyes to the truth about Donald Trump, and they don't like what they are seeing and they don't plan on letting him have another 4 years. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

It is very difficult for a Democrat to win the state of Florida without getting the senior citizen vote. But it is impossible for a Republican to win the state of Florida without getting the senior citizen vote. And unfortunately, for Donald Trump right now, it appears that Florida seniors are banding him. What's happening is that according to the latest polling we're seeing is statistical tie among or with seniors, for Trump and Biden here in the state of Florida, statistical tie dead heat, simple have Biden up by one or two points. Some have Trump up by one or two points, both within the margin of error. There's a couple outlier polls that show Trump winning seniors in Florida by like 10 points, but all of the other ones have it a statistical tie. So I think we're going to ignore the outliers for now because there's too many showing other data.

Nevertheless, what we have is a situation where Donald Trump is fighting from behind. You know, Florida is essentially swung one way or the other by those senior citizens, obviously the 30 and under crowd. Those are stronger liberals, the middle class type folks. That's a bit of a toss up the senior citizens, whichever way they go. So go with the election. And right now, Trump does not have enough of a commanding majority of these people to declare victory in the state of Florida. And here's why it's not just that, Oh, they like Biden better. They're sick and tired of it. According to interviews that have been conducted with the senior citizens throughout the state of Florida, they're sick of the lies. They're sick of him not being a leader. And they don't like the fact that he's okay with them dying from COVID-19 in order to restart the economy.

And that folks that is the big wake up call, look, all petitions lie. As part of the job, you got to some of it's intentional. Some of it's unintentional, some of it's something you actually believe, but it turns out later you can't do it. So technically that gets marked as but telling grandma, grandpa that you have to die telling your mom and dad, you have to die because I want to go eat at Outback steak at know that that's crazy. That's crazy. That is something a crazy person does. And the senior citizens understand that it's not go a worth going to golden corral. If it means that grandma has to go to an earlier grave than she should COVID-19 does it affect elderly Americans more than it affects other age groups, but they're not the only age group that gets affected by it, regardless of what Republicans want us to think.

But yeah, it does hit them a lot harder as do other diseases. And so we take extra precautions with them, but not this time, Trump's just Dan Republican governors, including DeSantis here in Florida is like, Oh, well, y'all just going to have to die. We want to go to a bar and we don't want to socially distance hard to hit on women. When you got to seriously distance from six feet away, Hey, you come here often done work. This is, this is psychotic. And the senior citizens recognize it. And that's the important part. They may not end up breaking for Biden, but if Biden can do the bare minimum of keeping it, even with him and Trump, then I think at the end of the day, Florida's electoral votes will go to Biden.
