“Understand that Republicans have a super majority in the Florida House so taking control of the House might be a stretch, a smaller majority might happen but outright control is a stretch”

If by “stretch” you mean “impossibility”, then yes. The Republicans have an 85-35 supermajority already and 32 of those 85 don’t even have a Democrat opponent at all (the filing deadline was yesterday).

In fact, one of the 4 suppesedly “vulnerable” Reps (Amesty) the 2 schnauzers who wrote that agitprop were shedding crocodile tears for has no opponent. But I guess a little research was out of the question for them, since it might have gotten in the way of their gaslighting.

Exactly, the Florida House has 120 total seats, in order to go from 85 to 59 meaning the Democrats would have 61 seats is practically impossible, these “news” outlets put out propaganda in an effort to give the Democrats hope when in reality they have no hope in State House races.

Go ahead and “adjust”, the implosion will just accelerate because newsflash: a lot of repub voters put God, the author of life first rather than your milquetoast policies and power hungry political pawns slaves to the central bank.

Maybe 30 seats in the Senate and around 200 seats in the House with that position.

Yes, and it's both disturbing and shocking how many approve of abortion up to 36 weeks.

The pro-life lobby did a terrible job with the messaging. They could have suggested that they were in favor of 18 weeks in states like in Massachusetts and Maryland. More people would say "that's not too bad".

I think the numbers are less than that when push comes to shove. In the end, “the People” vote for what they want and not many know what havoc (Pertaining to public spending) they are creating through their reps.

It’s irrelevant what my opinion is on this matter. I’m just dealing with the political realities at this moment. America wants legal abortion. That’s what we will get. Until the Muslims take over in a couple of decades.

By then the Muslims will be “reproductive choice” advocates too.

I'd cut those numbers in half. For abortion, or any other conservative position.

Abortion is the only “extreme” position by the GOP right now.

The Republican registration numbers in Florida show almost a one million voter edge over the rodents. That is a 1.1 million swing in 5 years.

Gallup - no friend of Republicans- open ended survey of what registered voters see as THE most important issue in this election found abortion at 3% yes THREE PERCENT.
