FL paper has 3 page article about Hillary and her GOP opponents. Bernie not mentioned.

This is pretty typical, so not surprised. But 3 pages not mentioning Bernie Sanders at all?

That's kind of hard to do.

All but Trump would top Clinton in Florida

The only one that Clinton can thump: front-running Republican Donald Trump. Clinton beats Trump 39 percent to 30 percent.

Those are the results of a statewide Ledger/10 News WTSP poll conducted March 7 through 9 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research of Jacksonville and released Friday. A total of 625 registered voters were interviewed for the poll.

The answer why Clinton tops Trump in the poll is simple, said Susan McManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida.

“A lot of people don't like Donald Trump,” she said.

McManus is considered the dean of political scientists in Florida. She is now teaching a class focused on learning about public opinion surveys.

Quite frankly I find this to be insulting toward a large group of people who are Bernie supporters.

Even the right wing leaning pundits like McManus only mention Hillary. It is though Bernie Sanders doesn't exist in the world of Florida media.

1. Appealing to the low information voters

Everyone else will

2. Definitely write a letter to the editor & find

The author of that article on Twitter and let them have it several times a day for days on end. Let me know I'll do it too.

3. It's DWS's back yard.

Not surprising.

4. I have been assured many times that Republicans want Bernie to beat Hillary.

So this doesn't make much sense to me.

6. All but Trump would top Clinton in Florida

Considering the headline that makes sense. Not like it's a flowery article for Clinton. Additionally, this isn't a major Florida publication. It's also directed at people who went big for McCain over Obama.

Welcome to the right wing media.

7. The system is rigged.

Anyone who read that article already knows what's going on.

8. From Kasich to Trump, as Total percent willing to vote falls, Hillary does better

Clearly it's a question of increasingly objectionable republicans doing worse, not Hillary doing better.
Amazing.

51-34.Total 85 Hillary -17
44-34 Total 78 Hillary -10
40-36 Total 76 Hillary -4
30-39 Total 69 Hillary +9

In other words, the Republicans must find a really really wretched candidate for Hillary to win.
Amazingly that seems to be the GOP front runner.

9. The Socialism

It used to be called the New Deal.

Can't have that, progress.

10. A couple of interesting notes buried in this piece...

1.

The poll found that the prospect of a Trump-Clinton matchup has a considerable number of voters saying they could vote for a third-party candidate.

Overall, 22 percent of Republican voters say they would abandon Trump for a third-party candidate.

And 36 percent of independent voters would back a third-party ticket.

Oddly, he does not mention any figures as to what Democratic voters might do in a Trump-Clinton matchup.


2. Kasich, Rubio and Cruz would beat Clinton in Florida.

11. I think Rick Rousos might need a few emails.

Thanks for his twitter page. Had looked but did not see it.

All done voting.
