I'm asking this because Florida shocked me a lot, I thought with Latinos and apparent EV margin it was a done deal for Clinton.
Agreed. Definitely the biggest shock of all states. By very far. Imagining that Texas is shifting strongly Democratic, while at the same time Florida of all states is trending Republican, is in itself a very weird thing/thought, which most people would probably argue would be close to 100% impossible lol.
Especially since due to Hillary's high age and extremely long experience in public service, Florida was seen as perhaps her single strongest state early on, only beaten by her "home" state New York. Especially in the primary fight against Obama in 2008 this was indeed extremely obvious. Obama didn't even stand a chance in the state, even though he did amazingly well almost everywhere else.
