Florida is a must win state for Donald Trump. So far, in early voting things are looking good for Trump and the Republicans. over 120,000 more Republican ballots have been mailed back to the state, putting Hillary Clinton in early hole. As of now, 881,274 Republican ballots have been mailed in, while only 760,003 Democrat ballots have come in. Even in Miami-Dade country, where Democrats dominate, Democrat ballots only outpace Republicans by 12,000 or so. Hillary Clinton will need to runt he numbers up in Miami-Dade if she is going to win Florida.

Pinellas County, which has Tampa Bat, St. Petersburg and Clearwater is usually the most important county in Florida. As Pinellas goes, so goes Florida. Republican ballots lead Democrats 105,024 to 97,916.
So far, so good. But the debates, especially Monday will likely determine who ultimately wins.
Also, in 2012, there were over 8 million votes cast in Florida. While Hillary Clinton isn’t likely to draw out the voters Hussein did, you can still figure there will be at least 8 million votes in Florida this year too. Especially with all the dead who vote Democrat.
Unless these Republican ballots are casting votes for Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson or Even McMuffin, this is good news for Trump and Rubio.
