Thank you for your concern though!
It's so easy to toss invective. "blue hellhole" ?
New York City alone has always been a powerhouse. Financial capital, dozens Fortune 500 companies, center for fashion, art, entertainment, publishing. Our intellectual capital.

What has Florida produced?. Oranges and Disney World? Yes this is given over to hyperbole but, sorry, Florida does NOT anywhere compare to New York..

Great, so please go there and enjoy it. I recommend the subway system, especially at night. The artwork and diversity is unmatched.

Both of the places you mention are a lot better than that blue hellhole of New Mexico. Talk about a dump!

We are so lucky to have dodged that dread BUT one has to wonder if Hillary could have been any worse than Biden? I think Hillary is a crooked crook but I think she cares about the country if only to enrich herself. Biden and his ilk don't even care about us.



I do not trust polling because people will say anything just to be jerks.
They didn't say that she was going to win in a landslide, they just said the odds were higher that she would win. It's like saying that there is an 80% chance of rain on an overcast day and it doesn't rain. All of the conditions can be there for an event to happen but for some unknown reason it doesn't happen. It doesn't mean that the weathermen don't know what they are doing or that they are always wrong.

One memorable thing I remember reading on 538 was that Trump had the same odds of winning as the Cubs did to win the World Series that year and look how that turned out.
