MEGATRENDS - Tampa Bay Times p. 1A, below fold, "Little joy within state's parties: A steady erosion within political affiliations may signal the end of the two-party system," by Mary Ellen Klas, Miami Herald Tallahassee Bureau Chief (Times/Herald Bureau): "This summer ... may ... mark the time America's century-old political parties went on life support. At the top of the ticket, both the Florida Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Florida have anointed presidential frontrunners who are seen by most voters more negatively than positively. Corporate donors ... are circumventing the parties in large numbers by contributing directly to candidates' committees.

"In Florida, the often-reliable bellwether for the nation, party membership is steadily eroding as the majority of new voters don't register with any party and fewer new voters are registering than have in previous presidential years.

"Then there are the casualties. Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the head of the Democratic National Committee, has been targeted for defeat from within by Bernie Sanders ... Jeb Bush ... is so disgusted by Donald Trump and his message he has announced he won't vote for his party's nominee. And GOP candidates in Hispanic-rich South Florida are keeping their distance from the frontrunner." bit.ly
