KEY BLOCK----- 05/18/2016 06:58 AM EDT By Marc Caputo ([email protected]; @MarcACaputo) with Kristen East ([email protected]; @kristenicoleast) and the staff of POLITICO Florida POLL POSITION -- "In rival polls, Garcia still leads Taddeo," by POLITICO Florida's Marc Caputo: Annette Taddeo, the former lieutenant governor candidate now running in the state's southernmost congressional district, is making a surprise disclosure: Her own poll shows she's losing the Democratic primary to former U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia by 16 percentage points. But there's a method to her campaign's apparent madness. Taddeo released her survey when the campaign got word that Garcia was preparing to publicize his own poll numbers showing him up by 24 percentage points. Her poll also indicates she has a path to victory if voters just learn more about the candidates. It's a finding that conflicts with Garcia's survey. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab63d4c8f11558d9b5f6b990158405949c9cf3a56af1646ef6d Good Wednesday morning. Hillary Clinton still seems on her way to being the Democratic presidential nominee after winning Kentucky last night, even though she lost Oregon to Bernie Sanders. But something weird has happened in the Democratic Party. It seems to be dividing more -- just as the GOP is putting itself back together again in some measure. And South Florida U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman, as DNC chair, is in the middle of it all. FIRE, BERN! -- "Wasserman Schultz on Sanders' response to Nevada chaos: 'Anything but acceptable,'" by POLITICO's Daniel Strauss: "Sanders campaign exchanged pointed public statements with the DNC and the Nevada Democratic party over allegations that Sanders' campaign encouraged 'extra-parliamentary behavior-indeed, actual violence' at the convention, in the words of the Nevada Democratic Party.... "I was comfortable that one conversation was enough," Wasserman Schultz said during an interview on CNN Tuesday night. "Unfortunately, the senator's response was anything but acceptable. It certainly did not condemn the supporters for the violence and added more fuel to the fire." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab650afec592813e1720ee8c4675e9c0a3c6f3faa7de84decba -- "Sanders defends campaign, accuses Nevada Democrats of bias," by POLITICO's Daniel Strauss: http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab69473de86b76371ec9bb9f093f9a52ab5ea054201c254dd3f TRUMP SMACKING -- "Pro-Clinton super PAC to spend $2.5M in Orlando, Tampa markets," by POLITICO Florida's Matt Dixon: A super PAC backing Hillary Clinton is set to spend $2.5 million on ads in the Orlando and Tampa media markets, where more than 45 percent of voters are not registered with any major party. The advertising blitz comes as part of a larger $6 million three-week swing-state buy from Priorities USA Action. The campaign will also air in parts of Ohio, Virginia, and Nevada. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab62389d741340d455ce0dbe5370b5ba563bd16592b5c88117e 'LOLITA EXPRESS' -- "Flight logs show Bill Clinton flew on sex offender's jet much more than previously known," by Fox News' Malia Zimmerman: "Former President Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on a [Palm Beach] registered sex offender's infamous jet than previously reported, with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the 'Lolita Express' -- even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights, according to records obtained by FoxNews.com. Clinton's presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein's Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including "Tatiana." The tricked-out jet earned its Nabakov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab63bcd1385efd92b4aad05140b0053dfc55d1ab372ba0c3dc2 TACO TUESDAY -- "Jeb Bush lists 4 reasons Trump's taco tweet was wrong," by POLITICO's Nolan D. McCaskill: "Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush rattled off the reasons Donald Trump's Cinco de Mayo tweet was 'so insensitive,' likening the act to something as offensive and stereotypical as eating a watermelon and declaring love for black people. Trump's infamous tweet featured the presumptive Republican presidential nominee posing with a taco bowl as he proclaimed his love for Hispanics." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab601589b55baa66c9691a317a3b4971a2292dfe511ecb88b12 BUSH WHO? -- @jaketapper: "#Trump-backing GOP Congressman who previously backed Jeb Bush: Bushes 'irrelevant' http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6a30e158ae3e423c0a42db883b9bb7724b249c54f6184b1bb - @RepChrisCollins on #TheLead."

So I talked to someone smarter than me about it," by Washington Post's Chris Cillizza: Pardon the self-reference here, folks, but this is an interview with....me (and, no, I'm not smarter than Chris). A few excerpts: --"I don't think Rubio will run for governor in 2018 for the same reason I predicted he wouldn't run for reelection as senator in 2016, wouldn't drop out of the presidential race before the March 15 Florida primary and wouldn't be a vice-presidential running mate for anybody this year: Because he said so.... --On Rubio's image: The data from Quinnipiac University, which regularly polls Florida, show Rubio's job-approval rating ... took a beating. Before he entered the presidential campaign in April of 2015, Rubio's net job-approval rating among Florida voters was +19 percentage points (54 percent approving and 35 percent disapproving). It then peaked at +26 (57-31) in August. But then it plummeted to -7 (42-49) in last week's poll. Self-identified independents soured the most on him, with his net job-approval falling from a high of +27 in August to a low of -20 today (47 points!). Rubio's net job-approval among Republicans also had a big drop, by 42 percentage points. It stands at +37 today (65-28) ... Rubio's overall numbers in Florida are still generally better than Clinton's, Trump's or Gov. Rick Scott's. And another recent poll, conducted for Associated Industries of Florida, showed that if Rubio ran for reelection, he would be the only Republican favored to beat Democratic U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy - by 8 percentage points. That poll showed Trump losing to Clinton by 13 points. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6cd3467833bcd6ca76167e1888e6be6f8648fda0d4e32f5dc --Rubio took to Twitter to poke fun at my prediction that I was certain about where he'd fish next.... -- @marcorubio: "Wrong again! 'can say with certainty that he's headed to the Atlantic Ocean'. Truth is I prefer Gulf side of Fl Keys!" -- @MarcACaputo: "Sorry, @TheFix, this is on me. I thought that, like most Miamians, he would have to leave dock in Atlantic but..@marcorubio could trailer his boat to the Keys or Flamingo. I forgot he might have fished recently off Islamorada." -- Rubio: "Flamingo!! Correct. Long drive worth it.Have all the fish spots saved on GPS.On Atlantic side spots near Turkey Point." -- Me: "Turkey Point, home of the elusive Nuclear Speckled Bonefish." -- Rubio: "....but easier to catch night fishing because they glow in dark." BACKGROUND -- "Marco Rubio is writing his own tweets again," by Miami Herald's Patricia Mazzei: "Marco Rubio embraced Twitter as a social-media platform before he ran for president, obviously writing his own posts about anything that crossed his mind. That changed when the Republican U.S. senator from Florida jumped in the 2016 race. His account was taken over by aides who crafted careful tweets, aware of the media glare on a presidential candidate. No more." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab68046c31f04ff9990ae1b8ac2b3f30b96fbeb82573f344b74 -- "Marco Rubio explains odd Twitter rant," by WIOD: http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6caa8570605284b5e058b92cbe8a994fb495f9301818831af INSANE -- "Newt Gingrich: Rubio's Tweetstorm May Signal VP Ambitions," by NewsMax's Sandy Fitzgerald: http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6d32218540a3da4aafb8fa991982d207e6305cadc89f911ba WILCOX SUPER PAC - From a press release: "As Todd Wilcox campaigns for Florida's U.S. Senate seat, Restore American Leadership PAC will independently advocate for his candidacy... --Finance Director: Steve Roche.

But a Times/Herald analysis of campaign donations shows the Manatee County land developer has been a major fundraiser for local, state and federal politicians. Since 2002, Beruff and his business holdings have made more than 730 campaign donations to support 103 political candidates - including a few Democrats - totalling just over $1 million." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6273fafd9c7604d2b217753e50de9ae1d1489f00bb8c2e439 DESANTIS AT VETS EVENT - Via press release: "Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) is coming to Tampa for a 'Veterans and Military Town Hall' with Congressman Ron DeSantis this Friday, May 20, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at The Cuban Club of Tampa (2010 N Avenida Republica de Cuba).

The Seminole Tribe of Florida sought similar protections when it asked a federal court to block the release of information from a deposition by the Seminole Gaming CEO about the tribe's revenue. POLITICO published the story last week, leading the tribe to drop its request. The debate over keeping trade secrets and other business information from the public isn't new, but the subject has attracted increased attention in recent years. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab63bf68f9cf9b716bd7041b0e349639e16c443f0c8b2c7f7fa FEE FIGHT -- "Legislature says it should not pay $220K in redistricting costs," by POLITICO Florida's Matt Dixon: Attorneys for the Legislature say they were not "proper defendants" in a federal redistricting lawsuit brought by Rep.

The Legislature argued in a motion filed Tuesday that they did not draw the seat Brown was trying to save with her lawsuit, and have no say over the enforcement of state voting laws. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab69487f15469b2ecd64e7d81185f2a4b696084819718beb73a STRONG ON FLORES - "Flores, under fire, denounces drilling in sensitive areas," by POLITICO Florida's Bruce Ritchie: An advocacy group is challenging Sen. Anitere Flores on her stance on oil and gas drilling, prompting a response on Tuesday in which she denounced drilling in environmentally sensitive areas. Last week, the National Park Service approved a Texas oil company's proposal to explore for oil and gas in the Southwest Florida preserve. Environmental groups criticized the decision. Florida Strong, a 501(c)4 group that does not have to disclose its donors, issued a statement on Tuesday calling Flores "bought and paid for" by "big oil" because she hadn't taken a stand against Big Cypress drilling. Florida Strong has overwhelmingly targeted Republican lawmakers and policies they support. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab690961aa1d3a0e3c207af75ef23b1d65c61c8a6652f978d96 NOT AS MUCH, BUT.... -- "Palm Beach County tweaks down its figures for cost of jailing minor pot offenders," by Palm Beach Post's Eliot Kleinberg: "County managers now say the cost of housing people caught with small amounts of pot is less than a third of what a study previously had concluded [from $1.1 million to $322,245]." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6b26207f362726ad0e16c54c76ab51e3947d344fb8bc456f3 OPENING SALVO-- "TV ads begin to fly in high-profile Senate race," by POLITICO Florida's Matt Dixon: There was a soft opening this month in what's likely to be one of the most heated and expensive state Senate races in 2016, as both parties try to grab one of the state's top swing seats. Former Democratic state Sen. Rod Smith and Republican Rep. Keith Perry are running for the Gainesville-based Senate District 8, which is now slightly Democratic-leaning after being redrawn in a lengthy redistricting legal challenge. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab64e7f44f6c12ced102132a9c5c283d58b09affe572cf481ee TERRIBLE HISTORY -@Random_Pixels: "36 yrs ago: Worst riot in Dade Cty history after 4 @MiamiDadePD officers are acquitted in beating death of black man." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6f73ab7d81cb5aed046e4ccafbaa2567190a1e5c562f99584 ODDS AND ENDS -- "High primary turnouts: Any clues for the fall?" by Sabato's Crystal Ball's Rhodes Cook: http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6adcb831ec77e1708eb29187a1d116e778c0a6e75e57b4bee -- "Car catches fire in Stuart after running over loose mattress; no one hurt," by TC Palm's Laurie K.

She died on May 12 after fat particles ended up clogging the arteries of her lungs and heart, causing the organs to fail, according to the medical examiner. Her death, still under investigation, brings to light once more the dangerous yet lucrative business of bargain-prized cosmetic surgery done in clinics ill-equipped to handle life-and-death emergencies and with less than stellar doctors.... "Where are the authorities? Where's state supervision of what's being described as assembly lines of Brazilian butt lifts in clinics where doctors have previously been charged with serious crimes related to botched surgeries and patient care?...The Florida Department of Health has charged doctors who work at Encore Plastic Surgery and two other clinics, Vanity Cosmetic Surgery and Spectrum Aesthetics in Miami, with medical malpractice and employing unlicensed professionals.

The FACIU is a non-profit organization, founded in 1981, whose stated aim is 'sharing information on crimes affecting the agricultural communities throughout Florida and surrounding states.' While the FACIU is not a law enforcement agency, its members are acting cops and sheriff's deputies who specialize in agricultural crime, and it is contracted by police departments across the state to provide training to officers on topics such as animal diseases and heavy farm equipment." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8706005f599a7ab6cb2b5059563322a608d7306279796f5424fcaa5820c385c5 EVERYONE LOVES WATERMELON -- "Florida alligator is photographed after swiping watermelon from field," by AP's Tamara Lush: "One large gator with an apparent sweet tooth was recently photographed sliding into a canal with a whole watermelon clamped in its jaws.
