Top Jeb Bush aide quits the GOP, will vote Clinton in Florida is in play.

I certainly disagree with Sally Bradshaw on a lot of things, but she did the right thing here.

FL is an early voting state. The state's demographics and Hillary's huge GOTV machine down there will force Trump to go elsewhere.

He already has very few routes to 270 and losing Florida would require an upset state somewhere else or essentially winning every battleground state.

Florida is pretty much a must win for the GOP this year. Hell even if Clinton loses Florida if she can keep them on the defense there it probably means he loses overall.
