I have a feeling that all this feigned outrage about this comment will backfire on the Democrats.

It's possible.

It will depend on how he and his campaign handle it.

If he starts apologizing he's going be seen as weak for giving into political pressure. He will turn off his base.

His best bet is to do a Trump and not back down.

<> Not sure if it will turn off his base regardless, but he needs to say "Look, what I said was in no way meant as racist. I was trying to say that the socialist way of doing things will just hurt Florida and throw it in turmoil." He doesn't need to apologize, just clarify. But who knows what the wimpy elite GOPers will talk him into doing.

His best bet is to ignore it and campaign like a man instead of a simpering p#$$y.

Donald Trump showed how that works.

Believe it or not, even a lot of posters on Mediaite are saying how ridiculous this is.
