This Congressional District has consistently voted for Republicans over Democrats by a 2 to 1 margin. Expecting the Democrats to win in such a district is totally unrealistic. (The margin in this election WILL be much closer than typical for the District). Then to follow it up by slandering the entire state of Florida, the vast majority of which had no vote today, is particularly ridiculous.
