(38,687 posts)I was born on Miami Beach (St. Francis Hospital...now condos). My Dad was a civilian employee of the Coast Guard and worked out of the Miami Beach station on MacArthur Cswy. My uncle was head of the Beach Patrol (lifeguards) and my aunt worked at Moseley's on Lincoln Road for over 4 decades (it's now the Apple Store). I spent a lot of time there hanging out as a kid. You could get a fresh bagel for a nickel everywhere. You'd see retired ILGWU ladies sitting on benches reading their Yiddish language commie rags. By the 80's the place was a wasteland. Now it's the place to be. My sister lives there now (off Meridian) and when I visit my jaw drops. I think I saw the doublemint twins jog by one day when I was people watching on the boardwalk. You walk one block and you hear a dozen different languages. And the food... I live in the suburbs though (Miami Lakes). The same neighborhood Harry Casey "KC" lives in. I see him from time to time driving around.

(30,247 posts)I despair to think that the majority of the nation has lost its collective mind and would elect this narcissistic buffoon as president.
I can't wait for the tag line of many articles and pundits if he loses, You're fired!!!!!.

(24,010 posts)Clinton even LOSES to Trump in one of these polls (Rasmussen).
Six recent polls:

Her margins are not safe margins. Clinton's average margin against Trump is only +6.5%. Sanders' average margin against Trump is +13.4%.

(24,010 posts)Not nice, DemocratSinceBirth. Maybe you're parents should have been Republicans. Odd how Dwight Eisenhower, today, would be considered wa-a-a-ay to left of Hillary Clinton. 90+% tax on the uber rich. Now THAT is a Democrat!

(99,710 posts)My maternal grandfather was from Poland. He was deaf in one ear because a cop hit him in it. What was his crime? Being a Jew. Oh, he was a socialist who loved reading The Forward.
You cited a poll that shows he is winning a race for president, hence my president of (Poll) land reference.

(18,115 posts)I actually meant to add, but got distracted, I fully expect her to do well against trumpy.

(99,710 posts)But we can't get ahead of ourselves. He has a 1 in 3 chance. Given the stakes that's not insignificant.
HRC needs to run like LBJ in 64 and RMN in 72 , like they were behind.
