Clinton Campaign Considers Giving Up On Florida. More Swing State Losses To Follow?

While putting on a brave “we won!” face following the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton and her campaign is facing some very hard truths in the all-important swing state of Florida.

Namely, that Donald Trump is winning there – and winning big.

Concerns have mounted within the Clinton campaign regarding the looming “Florida problem” for several weeks, and most recently, and despite millions in spent advertising targeting the state, Donald Trump’s lead in Florida is now turning into domination.

Internal polling is said to show Trump nearing a remarkable DOUBLE-DIGIT lead in the Sunshine State over the former Obama Secretary of State and for the first time, Team Clinton has to face the very real possibility of curtailing the campaign’s until now, blank check spending habits as Trump begins to challenge Clinton in historically blue states like Michigan and Maine.

Days earlier, the Clinton campaign planned multiple events in Florida, (including still scheduled events by Michelle Obama) hoping to motivate what appears to be disinterested minority voters. And then, just yesterday, Hillary Clinton was a no-show at a planned event in Hollywood, Florida. The campaign gave no public statement regarding Mrs. Clinton’s sudden absence, but perhaps it was the embarrassment of only a handful of supporters showing up and being outnumbered by Trump supporters standing just across the street:

Good question. Soros probably has very deep pockets.

She is not running out of money.

If necessary the Federal Reserve will print some (technically “loan it”) for her big bank donors.

The absentee story says he’ll win FL by 500,000 votes minimum. I think it will be more.

The RCP (out of Chicago) Averages are grossly skewed in Cankle's favor and they refuse to even list some polls if they contain honest D/R distributions.

But even the RCP Averages show Trump WINNING after you flip FLORIDA to Trump.

RCP's "NO Toss Up States" accounting says: 
Cankles 292	(with Florida)
Trump   246	(without Florida)


Cankles 264	(without Florida)
Trump   275	(with Florida)

“This does not comport at all with the latest RCP averages”

LOL.

This week Hillary is campaigning in New Hampshire. Michelle Obama is campaigning in Pennsylvania and Kaine is campaigning in Virginia.

This should tell you all you need to know about what the internal polls are showing.

Trump doesn't need to win any of those 3 states, by the way. Hillary is in full retreat.

[Helicondelta]

You are wrong. DC Whispers has an excellent track record.

Anybody know if she still has campaign appearances scheduled in Fla? If not, that’s likely another good sign she IS giving up on the state.

I heard she failed to show at a rally in Fla yesterday. Maybe health related.

[CyberAnt]

America is awake .. they KNOW THE MEDIA LIES ABOUT HILLARY.

[notdownwidems]

I heard Hillary is also considering abandoning her plane and is opting for a Vespa scooter.

More likely a broom! Or maybe one of those big motorcycles that fat, ugly dykes ride.

[Brilliant]

Hillary is not giving up. I still see about 30 Hillary commercials to every one for Trump.

[Cboldt]

She’s giving two rallies in Florida today.

First one live as I type ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oS3N_7oQgk

I am sorry to call BS, but this article is total and utter bullshine. The campaign has no such "internal polling".


That is incorrect, EVERY campaign does it's own internal, or independent polling. They pay a great deal of money for this polling, and it's WAY more detailed. While a typical state poll, that is put out by an organization will usually look at the state as a whole, the internal polls will typically break down the state into many smaller polls. That way, they have a much better understanding of what is going on in different parts of the state, and where to dedicate their resources.


For example, in FL the I4 corridor has always been a good indicator of the state, because is a swing area, and usually swings to the winner. But lets say in this election internal polling in the northern part of the state indicates higher than normal turnout. In that case, instead of swinging a limited number of votes in central FL, they might want to concentrate where they know they have a large number of votes, and concentrate in the SE FL, and getting those votes to the polls. It just happens that that is exactly where Clinton is today.

Florida is full of retired New Yorkers. Has a republican governor. Has Rubio way ahead on the senate race. And the hispanics there are not from Mexico. The race there won’t be close.

[Brilliant]

She was in Fla last week and Kaine is either here now or just left.

[shotgun]

It doesn’t cost Hillary’s campaign 1 dime for Obama or Michelle to fly anywhere and campaign for her regardless of the “law” that says the campaign has to reimburse the Gov’t expenses

[SoFloFreeper]

Hitlery is in Coral Springs Florida today. I wish this were true, but I don’t think so.

Believing this stuff doesn’t help.

Hitlery is a force to defeat, not a paper tiger we hope to demoralize by internet postings.

[Boogieman]

Yep, and the +14 democrat turnout models being used doesn’t mean they are ONLY skewed 14 points. Republicans have greater enthusiasm this election, by at least 5-10 points. So really, most polls are probably skewed even more, perhaps 20-25 points.

[LS]

You and I been sayin’ it.

BTW, just got an INTERNAL study from Trump campaign much earlier in year showing they would win OH. :)

“The absentee story says he’ll win FL by 500,000 votes minimum. I think it will be more.”

I really hope you’re right and I do agree with you that Trump is going to win Florida :-). I was down in the Keys a few weeks ago ... Monroe County is ridiculously “purple” and it seemed like Trump held an advantage there based on signs and other anecdotal stuff.

Still, I have a tough time believing that Hillary is pulling out of FL after coming to the conclusion that there is nothing she can do there to win. If the gap is that large in FL, Trump wins overall.

I’m picturing that fat ass on a Vespa. That is funny.
