Clinton campaign manager promises major Florida effort, warns that Trump could win state
The Orlando Sentinel ^ | July 10, 2016 | Anthony Man

Hillary Clinton's campaign manager had a warning Saturday for any Florida Democrats who might be tempted to relax, figuring their party's presidential candidate is sure to cruise to an easy victory over Donald Trump: Anyone who thinks Trump can't win is wrong.

"Donald Trump can win Florida. Donald Trump can win the presidential election...," said Robby Mook, Clinton's national campaign manager. "So everyone needs to do everything they can..."

Floridians can expect to see "a lot..." of Clinton between now and Election Day, Mook said... He said the Clinton effort would include an enormous ground operation that might ultimately surpass the massive — and winning — Florida efforts mounted by Barack Obama...

A major part of the effort will be in South Florida — especially Broward...the biggest source of Democratic votes...

The gay and lesbian community is a major Democratic Party constituency... He said the Clinton campaign's overarching message — largely depicting Trump as unfit to serve as president — would be the same everywhere, but take different forms depending on the region...

Floridians can expect to see President Obama campaign on behalf of Clinton...

U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y... told party activists that knocking on one more door or making one more phone call could make the difference...

"Florida's where it's going to be won or lost," he said...

Maloney, who is serving his second term, is his state's first openly gay member of Congress. He said the lesbian and gay community has seen amazing advancements. "We are kicking ass from Maine to down here in Florida..."

Maloney also used Trump to motivate Democrats. "We cannot lose this election. I don't want to live in Donald Trump's America..."

State Sen. Chris Smith...was even more blunt... "We've got a maniac on one side," he said, referring to Trump.

I would like to see an effort by Trump here in Florida that rivals what Clinton is doing. So far, I don't see it.

Trump has Florida in the bag as Clinton has no constituency groups in the state.

North Florida will vote Trump

Miami Cubans will vote Trump

Jewish people is South Florida will vote Trump

Everyone in Central Florida will vote Trump

Naw, the GOP delegates will pull a coup and deny Trump along with the voter base of the Republican Party. Then they will celebrate that they saved "conservatism" by eliminating Trump and getting Hillary elected. Because after all, they are not really concerned about "conservatism", just pleasing their donor benefactors who prefer open borders and cheap labor pools.

It was never about Trump's "conservative" values, and it most certainly isn't about America or her citizens.

It’s a strange thing. The remarks that Mook issue to the press are often favorable for the Trump Train, but almost too favorable. I often wonder if he’s trying to instill overconfidence with the GOP so we get tripped up on presumptions. In other words, Hillary is a better liar than Mook is. He often reminds me of Chicken Little.

She sure will if the delegates succeed in denying Trump the nomination. I for one will not vote for whomever the Republicans put in as the candidate, because at that point the country is lost anyway. Most likely a civil war will erupt in this country, and it will be more violent than the first civil war I fear.

Okay, I'm assuming you volunteered for Trump (and not Hillary), but I'm not sure what you meant exactly by the, haven’t heard a peep yet comment. Can you elaborate what you meant by that? Thanks.

You mean the Dead Enders Club. This convention could be insane outside and inside. We will see what Trump is made during the convention.

If Trump doesn’t pick a pro-infanticide running mate, he will win Florida.
