From door knockers to flotillas: Donald Trump campaign claims high energy in Florida
Florida Politics ^ | 9/19/20 | Scott Powers

The Florida campaign brain trust for President Donald Trump‘s reelection bid say they’re seeing supporters’ enthusiasm riding high, as reflected in crowds, canvassing efforts, volunteers, turnouts, and even in boat parades.

Susie Wiles, Florida senior adviser to the campaign and a longtime go-to for Republicans’ Sunshine State must-win efforts, says she’s perhaps seeing more enthusiasm than in 2016 when tens of thousands of volunteers, all zealous to help, turned out to drive Trump’s surprise victory.

“It could be a bigger number than in 2016. That was the most I had ever seen, but it is more than it was then,” Wiles said.

In an interview Friday, leaders of the Florida Trump Victory coalition campaign involving the official Donald Trump for President Campaign, the Republican National Committee and other organizations, has the usual boasts for its ground game: An infrastructure in place continuously since Trump’s first campaign; more than 200 paid staff; a highly-developed, sophisticated data operation; and something old-fashioned that Democrats are not trying this year because of the coronavirus crisis - a door-to-door operation.

**SNIP**

Garcia also weighed in on boat parades, which are popping up almost everywhere lately.

“These boat rallies are organic,” Wiles said. “Those are not things that we spend days and nights planning. And I consider those to be really indicative of the enthusiasm for the President. In various places across the state, and in other states too, people that are boaters, that support the President, call their friends and neighbors and those boat rallies pop up. That’s not to say we don’t have a representative of the campaign, a high-level surrogate if you will, come and be a part of it once it’s ongoing. But we don’t plan those.”

“Democrats have their own ground game and robust staff, much of it focused through a highly innovative virtual campaign.”

that is just such a hilarious statement, so let me rephrase it so it makes at least semblance of sense: “The Democrats don’t have a ground game in Florida, but instead they have chose to do only a “virtual” campaign, whatever that is.” ...

[btw, the biden campaign announced a number of weeks ago that they were going to fore-go a ground game all together, but instead wage only a “virtual”/digital campaign]
