If Florida is any indication, Democrats are in serious trouble.

Florida Voter Registration: Republicans Overtake Democrats by 100,000
By Patricia Tolson
April 1, 2022

In November 2021, DeSantis announced that Florida—where Democrats held an advantage over Republicans of well over 260,000 voters when he took office in 2019—saw a net gain of over 300,000 new Republican voters. On Feb. 28, 2022, the Florida Department of State reported there were 5,135,377 registered Republicans and 5,045,849 registered Democrats, a difference of 89,528.

But according to the new data released by the governor’s office, there are now 5,145,878 registered Republicans and 5,044,802 registered Democrats, a staggering difference of 101,076. More startling is the revelation that the historically blue stronghold of Miami-Dade County is losing Democratic voters. As of April 1, 2022, there were 585,882 registered Democrats in Miami-Dade, compared to 427,000 Republicans. At the end of 2021, Miami-Dade had 594,924 registered Democrats, a loss of more than 9,000 voters in three months.

That’s a tumble of nearly 41,000 from the 635,842 registered Democrats in Miami-Dade at the end of 2020.

A 300k party registration swing for republicans in just 3 years is very significant, and I just wonder if democrats are going wise up and change course, or stick to their guns and continue embracing identity politics and capitulating to the woke crowd. The fact that the most blue county in the state, Miami-Dade, has lost more than 40,000 registered democrats should be a wake up call, but something tells me they're going to make excuses and blame everyone and everything, rather than blaming it on the crazy ass things they've been supporting.

Florida has fought tooth and nail against the craziness coming out of the Biden Administration, the democrats, and their far left supporters, but if I had to pick one issue that's most responsible for the republican swing, it would be their response to the covid19 mandates and lockdowns. Florida led all other states in rebelling against the federal government's covid19 mandates, which they were criticized and attacked relentlessly by the democrats and the Biden Administration over and in the end, Florida's approach was the correct one.

It would be a stretch to think that what's happening in Florida is just a one off... but somehow, I'll bet that's exactly what the democrats are going to tell themselves and that's perfectly fine by me.

We've not even begun to see just how looney the left is.

Are you saying that their information is inaccurate, or are you attacking the source because you don't like the information itself?

If you are claiming it's inaccurate, then prove it... If not, then LMMFAO.
 
Florida going to a Republican is hardly earth shattering. They often do but elections are usually incredibly close. DeSantis has done a lot to try and control the vote and signed into law some very controversial laws. He is also attacking the States single largest reason for tourist income which employees one hell of a lot of Floridians. He is very popular with a certain demographic and hugely unpopular with another. I think he likely wins FL but my bet it is very close.
 
There's a long way to go, but I have to believe the sober Democrats are worried about this November.

Democrats are going to lose the House in November and they know it. I don't see any denial. By how much is really the only question. In my opinion the Senate is a coin toss. However, I am 100% sure who the President will be and that's all that really matters in the end.

A GOP House and a GOP Senate. Oh yes, and Hunter's laptop. An interesting combination.
 
Poor Democrats. Poor Florida. I don't much care for either, but have fun slinging partisan shit.

Yes...a GOP House will have a ball with this huge nothing burger instead of governing and will be well rewarded with a resounding defeat in 2024.
 
I'm actually not so sure there will be a red tidal wave in either chamber.
Right now there's a war happening IN the party, a schism, and a lot of Republicans seem to be planning to sit out the midterms, and quite possible the 2024 general.
Trump has been whispering...nay...SHOUTING, that the votes don't matter anymore.

Even one of their main propagandists Chuck Todd is predicting a "shellacking"

?? You seem to confuse Republicans with the Democrats. THe war is in the Democrat party, and they are rightfully fearful of Dem voters sitting out the election.

Yeah, Kamala will do a good job...<sarcasm off>
 
Just now 63 House republicans - nearly one-third of the entire gop caucus - voted against support for NATO “as an alliance founded on democratic principles.”
That is a remarkably disturbing display of party disunity, one third going ROGUE and the other two thirds either in abstention or in favor of NATO and democratic principles.
A third of the party is willing to cancel democracy altogether, and any institution designed to protect it.

Not that surprising since Florida was one of the six states that shifted more Republican during the 2020 Presidential election. Link

A lot more than that....147 Republicans tried to steal the election from Biden on Jan 6.

These people simply cannot accept election defeat anymore. It's over for the country if they win in November. These people will never voluntarily give up power again.

Yep, FL & OH seem to no longer be swing states.

But then, there's the new GA!
