HuffPo: Republicans screwed, blued, waiting for tattoos: ALL of their "Xs" now need to be in Texas

Florida Moving Faster From Battleground To Blue? Thanks, Donald.
A surge in Latino votes could spell long-term trouble for Republicans for years to come.

Once a GOP stronghold, Florida’s Osceola County is now predominantly Latino and votes Democratic. Increased Latino voter participation could turn what has been a swing megastate into a blue megastate.

Of the early votes cast by Friday, close to one-third of the Hispanic voters had never voted in an election before. And polling makes clear that they are overwhelmingly voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“That, my friends, is the definition of a surge,” said Steve Schale, the Democratic strategist who helped win the state twice for President Barack Obama and has been closely analyzing the early voting numbers in Florida for two weeks.

The looming danger for Republicans in this is clear. Republicans once were able to count on California, Texas and Florida in presidential contests. Then it was only Texas and Florida. A Clinton win in the Sunshine State on Tuesday could confirm the start of an era where Democrats head into presidential contests able to count on three of the mega-states ― California, New York and Florida ― with Republicans having only Texas.

I cant imagine Trump's nazi supporters - like "Jew-S-A" guy - are helping him much, there, either!
