I can’t even believe this. Someone must have hit Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on the head because he seems to have forgotten all of the unhinged things he has said while at a rally in Florida at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
He, of course, bragged about his crowds:
“‘We go to Oklahoma, we had 25,000 people. We had 21,000 people in Dallas. We had 35,000 people in Mobile, Alabama. We have these massive crowds,’ the Republican nominee said. ‘You’ve got thousands of people outside trying to get in [today], and this is one hell of a big stadium.'”
He mocked Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of teleprompters. Maybe he should take her lead.
He said that he is leading in the polls in Florida, and he actually said:
“I hear we’re leading Florida by a bit. I don’t know why we’re not leading by a lot. Maybe crowds don’t make the difference.”
Trump wasn’t entirely truthful either. A poll from Suffolk University shows Hillary Clinton leading by 6 percent in Florida.
There was also a poll about who is involved in the election.
Among Florida voters: 53 percent said they are alarmed by the election, 28 percent were excited, and 10 percent were bored.
Here Trump is talking to Florida rallygoers about how he would be “embarrassed” to lose to Clinton in the election. He asked the audience how embarrassing it would be.
"Wouldn't that be embarassing" Trump asks the crowd in Florida, to lose to Hillary Clinton? https://t.co/eBDDzCu9Hl

David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston pointed out how Hillary Clinton is leading in South Florida. He said:
“Hillary Clinton is leading thanks to southern Florida and women. Trump is even seeing some Republicans holding back at this point while Clinton is a bit stronger among registered Democrats.”
University of North Florida political science professor, Michael Binder said:
“These polls were conducted right after the conventions, so give it another week or two. The polls will come down and I think it will tighten up a little bit, but I still think Hillary is ahead at this point.”
I hope Hillary Clinton will continue leading the polls.
