Clinton/Trump Obama/Romney

FL-07 Murphy, Stephanie (D) 51.4 44.1 49.4 49.4

It doesn’t indicate who edged who in 2012 in this court ordered mangled district. This is Seminole County (narrowly held by Trump) and what I presume is the best part of Orange (Winter Park). Figured Clinton carried it but not by this much, we see how why Mica (R) was narrowly unseated by this rat (named Murphy, sigh), pure coatails. Another area seat (Webster’s, who fled to an open GOP seat) was made safely rat by the court so we lost 2 from this awful region.

FL-13 Crist, Charlie (D) 49.6 46.4 54.6 43.9

Jolly’s court ordered redrawn seat, our other incumbent Republican who narrowly lost, to the Orange Menace, but look at the swing to Trump. Trump carried Pinellas (St. Pete) country but the district excludes the most Republican part. I would’t have figured he would have gotten so close in this one. We can get his one back, and the 7th too.

Hillsborough County (Tampa) swung the other way, I wonder why.

FL-18 Mast, Brian (R) 44.1 53.3 47.7 51.4

Our pickup of the open seat of rat Senate nominee Patrick Murphy, who unseated/robbed Allen West under previous though very similar lines even as Romney took the distinct. This is a northern part of Palm Beach county, Martin county, and St. Lucie County, which went to Trump after Obama/Murphy won it under IIRC suspicious circumstances and a wide margin in 2012, Murphy carried the county over Rubio in the Senate race, though Rubio statewide ran ahead of Trump. Mast won (the district, narrowly edging it in St. Lucie) by 10 points and should not have trouble holding it.

FL-25 Diaz-Balart, Mario (R) 47.9 49.6 44.9 54.5

Figured this swung to Clinton but Trump still carried it, I was correct though it was closer than I thought. District contains most of heavily GOP Collier County (which swung a little to Clinton, not significantly). the Miami-Dade portion is the problem. Diaz-Balart crushed his opponent

FL-26 Curbelo, Carlos (R) 56.7 40.6 55.4 43.9
FL-27 Ros-Lehtinen, Ileana (R) 58.6 38.9 53.0 46.3

Clinton carried these 2, as had Obama, only districts to split their tickets, nasty swings, nasty margins. After the illegal court ordered remap I feared for the Curbelo seat. But he won easily over the rats poor choice of a nominee, corrupt Ex-Congressman Joe Garcia, good sign. The 26th contains Monroe County, which Trump became the first Republican since HW Bush to carry, but again. Dade was the problem. Ros-Rinochen won reelection in the 27th by just under 10 points, her closest race since her initial election. I think it was the biggest Clinton win in district with a GOP member. It’ll be a fight when she retires but we can hold it.

Cuban voters sticking with their GOP Reps despite dem POTUS gains, gains which hopefully can be somewhat reversed next time.

Disgusting remap still burns me, though at least got rid of Bob Graham;s daughter (who is still unfortunately a statewide danger)
