Anxiety of a Bernie Sanders Democrat ticket begins to spread down the ballot in Miami

84. 46% of Floridians said Andrew Gillum was too liberal for the state

Now translate that to Bernie Sanders. As indicated, the commercials write themselves.

This state was just starting to come around. Then we got badly outworked and outmaneuvered by the GOP for years. I've provided those anecdotes many times recently. Republican canvassers door to door all year long compared to late pathetic desperate catchup tactics by Democrats only in the final month of each cycle. Totally the opposite of what I experienced in Nevada once Harry Reid fortified that operation. I've been back to Florida since late 2008 yet only Donna Shalala's campaign last year was on the ball in terms of finding me early in the process and staying in touch.

Nothing from Andrew Gillum. Nothing from Bill Nelson. I wish I were exaggerating. That's how inept it is in Florida right now.

So when these insiders are scared they have every reason to be scared. Florida is not in play with Sanders atop the ticket. The Cubans will think it's Venezuela if Sanders wins. That was the fear tactic and comparison last year. It will succeed again. House races we won narrowly like the upset win over Carlos Curbuelo won't be competitive at all.

Don't be stupid enough to care about current polling above big picture logic. Josh Marshall is situationally clueless.
