Women vote all sorts of ways. Not all women, even if they should, vote for reproductive freedom, for example. And guess what? Women are different ages! And ethnicities! and socioeconomic statuses! Toss in the fact that it's Florida, and a better question might be why don't more RICH OLDER WOMEN go for Bernie? Well duh.

Another boring pointless exercise in cherry picking a stupid poll. Golfclap.
