Pizzo’s announcement is just the latest blow for Florida’s beleaguered Democratic Party.

Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are not serious candidates. They're not going to make the country better, instead will introduce a whole set of other problems. These candidates gain power by votes as a form of protest. In a hypothetical, going to fascism from liberalism to communism does not improve the country in a weighted average, instead it will get worse. I have a hypothesis as to why democrats can't dominate Florida. That is, tax and spend policies does not work in Florida. It is a low tax state, probably for good reason, because much of the state is in a hurricane zone. It has a semi-retirement atmosphere. You would be paying high taxes on top of housing costs if you implemented a New York style taxes. Florida style taxation is tax things that are tourist related, to keep taxes low for the rest of the locals.
