Florida's only become a really big state relatively recently, after the invention of air conditioning. Give it time.

Yeah, Florida used to literally be a barely inhabited swamp, LOL.  It was the deepest of Deep South at one point.

Arkansas has less than 1% of the population, and yet had a recent 2 term President.
And? He's the only president ever from Arkansas. Same deal if Bernie had been elected.

Bernie's from NY.

I think most people use the state they "ran from" rather than their birth state.  The vast majority of people would write "Reagan (R-CA)" before "Reagan (R-IL).
