    This is pretty big. If Latino vote is up this much in FL and continues to be until election day, Trump's dead in the water.

    Early voting data in 3 key states show spike in Latino turnout - CNNPolitics.com

    This has been talked about in the news since January. The spike itself is not a surprise.

    I don't think it's a spike though but rather it's indicative f changing demographics.

    Do you believe the polling is not accounting for it? If so, that would be a new angle, but I didn't read the article as saying that.

    Given the current ballot counts, I'm not concerned for Trump. Regardless of race, many of the legal immigrants that I know don't like illegal immigration - the people who came here legally feel cheated and that it cheapens their citizenship. I know it is anecdotal, but I work with a few legal immigrants of different races and it makes sense to me that they feel this way. One fellow of Indian descent has been a fan of Trump for a good 20 years and is very happy he is finally running for office.

    I know an illegal immigrant, who is now legal, who opposes illegal immigration. How that for ya? Actually, he was brought here as a baby, and joined the military. Through his service, his family was able to get citizenship themselves (last year, I believe).

    Days away, and he never ceases to amaze. Insulting our military... again.

    You'll have to post a link to that, with the context. With all the support he's shown our military for a long time I'm not going to just believe that, or believe that it wasn't taken out of context and twisted into something he didn't say.

    Context? I'm sure it was referring to telling the enemy our exact timeline and plans of attack.
    Yes announcing that ahead of time is ****ing stupid.

    Given that it sounds like he's referring to flag-grade officers, I daresay that the vast freaking majority of the enlisted men and officers agree with him.

    One of my friends retired as a major rather than submit to the lobotomy and ass-kissing required to make Colonel.

    The last eight years of our war on something or other, he is absolutely correct. Disinformation is a valid strategy, leaking incorrect but plausible information is a very delicate operation, take Major Martin.

    Telegraphing actual time schedule and plans is idiotic.

    And yes there's this.
    Enlisted could usually not give a F about senior grade leadership.
    Now they do.
    That doesn't tell you anything?
