The 2016 example is a good example of the problem though.
Clinton lost FL by ~1.5 points while winning the national popular vote by 2 points. Even with her being stronger with hispanic voters, she still lost the state. Then 2018 happens and our candidates fell short again. Nelson did about as well in Miami-Dade and Broward, as HRC, but he…

Then 2018 happens and our candidates fell short again. Nelson did about as well in Miami-Dade and Broward, as HRC, but he still lost. That's despite 2018 being a huge wave year for us nationally; the swing in the house popular vote from 2016 to 2018 is about ten points in our favor.
Our problem with Florida is that even putting up HRC-like numbers with non-whites in the state will still see us lose.
I think 2018 was the biggest L, because the Andrew Gillum is a clown. Someone else, literally anyone wins. Then they got power from there. Their redistricting is very unfair especially in Tampa and Jax area smh.
The issue in 2016 was that while latinos did not move right the midwest transplants did just like their cousins back in Iowa. The fact that Nelson lost in freakin 2018 was a sign that things weren't going good down there. Now every demographic has zoomed right.
