Question: Is Florida in Hillary Clinton's bag (assuming Jeb Bush isn't the nominee)?
#1
Probably, but Republicans can still win the election - even without winning Florida.
 
#2
Probably, and if the Republicans lose Florida, they will lose the election.
 
#3
No, it will be a swing state just as it always is (and therefore a possible win for Republicans). Hillary Clinton's strengths are being overrated.

Republicans can win without Florida.  They can run the table depending on the political environment.

Republicans "can" win without Florida in the same way Democrats "can" win without California.

Anyway, it's not in the bag, but against a candidate other than Jeb she begins there with a huge advantage.

It'll be a battleground like it always is. And of course, Republicans need to win it, especially after 2020 (when it will likely have 31 or 32 EV's) because there's little to no way around it.

Republicans can win without Florida.  They can run the table depending on the political environment.

Republicans "can" win without Florida in the same way Democrats "can" win without California Pennsylvania.

Much better

You're probably right, that's a better comparison. Either way, it's extremely implausible.

Republicans need Florida in 2016.

The only thing I can think of that can possibly put Pennsylvania in play is escalation of the War on Coal.

That would've been a good strategy when the map looked like this:



Not so much when it's like this:

Don't worry guys, Jeb's hispanic wife and his suave Spanish speaking ways will switch it for the Republicans. Other Republicans lose it 60-40 though, obviously.

It probably has more to do with the fact that he was governor. His fluency in Spanish and Hispanic wife is what will win him California and New Mexico though. Wink

Are you guys crazy? Tongue If he runs against Hillary, he will be glad to win Utah and Wyoming!

I was mocking the stupid pundits.
