I'm sure Joe can do it. With Bloomie out, hopefully most of his 14 percent will go Bidenward.

Bernie will maybe do well in Leon (FSU) ans Alachua (UF) Counties and a few other places. They are not huge counties by Florida standards. I'd imagine most of the bigger counties will go Biden, along with northern Florida counties like Gadsden.

is her lack of experience. I know, I know, experience isn't really required, but with Joe's age I think voters will want to reassured that the veep can step in on a moment's notice. Unfortunately, you cannot make that argument for Demings.

Bernie is being REJECTED EN MASSE if that's the best he can do. I'm sure it was his praise and admiration for Castro and the Cuban Revolution.

Its virtually impossible to make up that difference given what is going on. In fact things are still trending towards Biden so those number are probably even worse for Sanders.
