Florida voters approve $15 minimum wage, while also voting for Trump.

[In It to Win It]

2. This Floridian voted for the minimum amendment and against Trump but...

I've come to believe that it's not only about branding... but it's also about who is doing the branding here in Florida.

When we passed the amendment to restore voting rights to ex-felons, we passed it in a nonpartisan way. I strongly believe that if Bernie Sanders, who I recall reading that he was a proponent of this, came down and stumped for it, support for it may have decreased.

With the minimum wage amendment, it was presented to people without a (D) or a (R) right beside it. In Florida, specifically, we'd have to pass our agenda via ballot initiative... or we do the hard work of converting some people. Republicans control the legislature here and they won't move on these issues. Our governor won't moderate his only positions despite half the state voting for the another person.
