Trump got 49.0% of the popular vote while Clinton got 47.8%. Trump won Florida by a plurality as a result of the various third-party candidates. Florida is always close - at least it has been in the recent past.

The most recent polls showed the Florida race too close to call for any Democrat against Trump.

Of course, these were before the news of Sanders pro-Castro statements - and every elected Democrat in Florida running away from Sanders.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
