Schale is just a fraud. She didn’t have a 250,000 lead going in. She had about an 80,000 lead. We proved it. What a bozo.

LOOK AT THE NUMBERS HERE ON FR POSTED BY SPEEDYINTEXAS!

It’s always someone else’s fault (or someone to thank). Never, ever will one of them admit it was the deplorable candidate herself and her arrogant campaign.

> So we really need to thank commie Comey?

Actually, we really need to thank
Hillary’s girlfriend’s husband Wiener’s wiener
for saving the republic.

The Clintons brought us so much history that
is difficult to discuss with a child.

The end of the error era could have been finally reached.
Not a minute too soon.

Democrat trump card turned out to be Wiener.
Americas trump card was an actual Trump.

One big difference between the Clinton and Obama campaigns in Florida and across the country, Walker lamented, was that Clinton’s campaign put little or no emphasis on reaching out to existing voters.


BS. The Dems way outspent the GOP in FL. I got 4 or 5 pieces of Democrat “Trump hates women” direct mail and I am GOP voter! I got ZERO GOP direct mail. The Dems carpet bombed the state with ads, etc. The Dems lost because Trump energized voters in FL. Election day was like a hurricane in FL. So much activity.

Tampa likely was a big part of her losing Florida. Losing Monroe and St. Lucie counties didn’t help either.


And take a look at Jacksonville suburbs. Hillary just got smashed here. 70%-30% in some counties! LOL.

Yes, at least they did until the “early vote by mail” ballots started coming in, then they changed the labeling, dropping “absentees.”

Look at Schale spin. He was on Twitter the night before insisting that 200,000 magic hispanics were gonna save Cankles.

They contend FBI director James Comey's surprise announcement that he had resurrected the inquiry into Clinton's private email server was a likely factor.

I beg to differ. Comey had called it off again prior to November 8th and for the majority of Election Day voters I know, they were hopping mad as they cast their votes.

"Had the FBI director not chosen to insert himself into the campaign with a week to go, I suspect Clinton would have carried Pinellas (albeit very narrowly)," Schale speculated.

I doubt that had much to do with anything. Comey also said that the FBI still wouldn't prosecute, and I seem to recall Hillary's people crowing that it was proof of her "innocence."

One big difference between the Clinton and Obama campaigns in Florida and across the country, Walker lamented, was that Clinton's campaign put little or no emphasis on reaching out to existing voters.

Clinton's campaign put little or no emphasis on campaigning, period. Oh, she ran some ads, none of which mentioned any qualifications that she would actually have for the job of president. But she gave few campaign rallies, and most of her rallies were given by surrogates. That had to raise questions in even the most ardent true-believers' minds about her ability to take on a high-stress job like the presidency, especially with the health questions that simply would not go away. For as much money as her campaign spent, they got so little out of it.

I went to two Trump rallies in Tampa and all you heard was people saying they were waiting till election day to vote.

I have no idea where they are getting their early voting numbers. FR was quite clear on that Trump was heavily outperforming Romney in early votes.

Hillary’s handlers (shudder the thought!) had an impossible situation. Their candidate needed to campaign to reach the voters —— but every time HilLIARy spoke people turned off on her.

Very funny. If I had read your comment first, it would have saved me from reading the long version.

You neglected to read the part that while Trump was doing a bit better (but not by much) than Romney in early voting, Clinton was leading before election day. That was widely reported everywhere. Dems vote early in much greater numbers than republicans and that is true in other states, too, such as NC.

Not counting all the snowbird New York liberal double voters that voted for Hillary. Those should be checked immediately.

Funny how Democrats, the laziest people on Earth, all seem to vote early. Really funny....

Very good point to ponder, heights. Thanks. BTTT!

Early voting aids Dem voter fraud.
