Was the cheating that bad before?

It was pretty bad, but it was a combination of things. I think you also had a lot of Dem voters (not the 30% but the rest) who were embarrassed that they voted for Gillum. Swing voters went hard for DeSantis. On top of that everybody knew Crist was just a placeholder; he's become a state joke. No serious candidate wanted to go against DeSantis, and a serious candidate would have lost but it wouldn't have been as big of a margin. Crist was a sacrificial lamb and probably just padded his wallet with the entire thing.
