Imagine if @TheDemocrats invested more $ in doing real outreach and connecting with Puerto Rican voters in Central Florida. That was a LOST opportunity to excite this bloc. They missed the mark. #ElectionNight #Florida

-Voters don't need to like a candidate to support them. Many Trump voters told us "I don't like the guy" but they either liked his policies and/or feared "socialism." A man in NC told me he backs Trump but won't put a yard sign out because "they'll key your car."
