Donald Trump campaign and RNC are confident in Florida campaign

in 2017/Top Headlines by

On the last day of early voting in Florida, the Donald Trump campaign and the RNC expressed confidence in the Sunshine State ground game. Yet questions remain even after a Sunday morning press call regarding the Florida effort. Ahead of the call with representatives from the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign, Team Trump circulated stats that said Trump was outperforming the Mitt Romney campaign of 2012. Republicans comprise 1.4 percent more of the early vote share than at this point in 2012, said…

RNC, Donald Trump campaign encouraged by early voting in Florida

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Republicans are running ahead of 2012 trends in early voting and Democrats are running behind, and that may also be reflected among voters who are newly registered or who’ve rarely voted in the past, officials of the Donald Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee said Friday morning. In a national news conference phone call Friday morning, RNC Political Director Chris Carr said in the first four days of early voting, 477,600 Democrats voted and 439,800 Republicans voted in Florida, giving Democrats…

Donald Trump rejects ‘phony’ polls, insists ‘we are winning’

in 2017/Top Headlines by

A defiant Donald Trump blamed his campaign struggles on “phony polls” from the “disgusting” media on Monday, fighting to energize his most loyal supporters as his path to the presidency shrinks. With just 14 days until the election, the Republican nominee campaigned in battleground Florida as his team conceded publicly as well as privately that crucial Pennsylvania may be slipping away to Democrat Hillary Clinton. That would leave him only a razor-thin pathway to the 270 electoral votes needed to…

Joe Henderson: Tim Kaine, Mike Pence clash in downcard, ‘diluted’ debate

in 2017/Top Headlines by

About halfway through the vice presidential debate Tuesday, I wonder how many Republicans were secretly (or maybe not so secretly) wishing Indiana Gov. Mike Pence was at the top of their presidential ticket. On my scorecard, Pence was the clear winner over Democrat Tim Kaine — not on policy so much, as I doubt the debate changed many minds on the major issues that divide us all. But Pence was polished, poised, and focused most of the time and — dare…

Donald Trump goes after Clinton – Bill Clinton – in rancorous race

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Donald Trump abruptly resurrected Bill Clinton‘s impeachment on Thursday, adding the former president’s infidelities to the already-rancorous 2016 campaign. Trump warned voters in battleground New Hampshire that a Hillary Clinton victory would bring her husband’s sex scandal back to the White House. It was Trump’s latest effort to bounce back from Monday night’s debate performance, which has been widely panned as lackluster. In contrast, Clinton has delivered a mostly positive message in the days since her debate performance re-energized her…

Florida vote-by-mail hits record 2.5M requests, Republicans in lead

in 2017/Top Headlines by

More people are seeking or casting early ballots in the critical states of Florida and North Carolina than at this point in 2012, as early voting shows signs of surging nationwide. Florida doesn’t start absentee balloting until Tuesday, but already a record 2.5 million voters have requested ballots. Republicans are ahead in ballot requests, 43 percent to 38 percent. That’s a much narrower gap than in 2008, the most recent in which comparable data was available. At that time, the…

Uncertainty on the I-4: Puerto Rican voters eye hard choice

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Heriberto Ferrer doesn’t want to vote for Donald Trump – but he says he can’t rule it out, his open-mindedness forced by his low opinion of Hillary Clinton. “I don’t want Trump to win. Period,” he tells a Republican volunteer standing in his doorway on a recent Saturday morning. What about Clinton? “Hillary no sirve,” he says in his native Spanish, a phrase roughly translated as “Hillary is useless.” The 56-year-old construction worker is among many Puerto Ricans living in…
