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 don’t know if Trump can get a decent running mate with all necessary requirements. Newt’s sounded like a Democrat yesterday, not that many to pick from who aren’t RINOs
I love the General but he’s pro-choice. Maybe if Trump could get a guarantee the guy wouldn’t pick a pro-choice Supreme, it might work. That’s the only place the President usually has any input on the subject.
Slim pickin’s though.
I think you’re over confident. Just remember that Obama won Florida twice. Last time pretty handily. And there are more Democrats on the rolls today.
Whatever name yo want to assign to them, for me it's the Stupid Party.
I already know what Trump is made of, if that is indeed what you meant.
What it will really show is what the Republican Party is made of, in my opinion.
If they deny Trump the nomination, they believe in nothing, just like the Democrats.
If they nominate Trump then they believe in America and her citizens.
I must admit, given past experiences as of late, I have very little confidence that it is the latter.
The support for Mr. Trump is HUGH.
This is military country:
Tyndall AFB, Panama City, Eglin AFB = about half of Okaloosa County, Naval Air Station Pensacola just to name a few. A good many of us moved here after retirement and we're conservative.
This convention has to many forces in play. Inside and outside this is not going to be easy. Anything can happen and his skills as a manager will be tested. I feel he has great management skills but this could be outside the realm of normalcy for any human.
The Trump campaign in Ohio has contacted me about helping..they are very active here. maybe you looked in the wrong places?? just sayin’ ..........mean no offense
After Orlando - FL is Trump’s to lose.
THAT is the most wonderful warning INDEED!!! When they start warning about NY, NJ and CA, break out the champagne!!!
Hillary wants your guns!
I’m in Orlando. She’ll get plenty of votes here. And especially in Miami. You can’t say that a liberal can’t win here when Obama did it twice.
would that be Hugh O’Brien...??
Crooked Corrupt Hillary will have EVERY STUPID VAGINAS VOTE!! What REAL MAN or DECENT WOMAN would ever vote for such a person?
I am NEVER going to fall for those lying Dems and their slanderous astroturf campaign against Trump. Good for them for supporting Trump!!!
It is a different world then 4 years ago. And it is falling apart at a rapid rate. All of which favors Trump. Wish it wasn’t.
But Timp, the open question is will Utah follow their faux Mormon “leader,” Mutt Romney and vote for Hitlary?
“If things keep falling apart Hillary will voting for Trump.”
But I thought your right to vote was suspended when you were incarcerated!
We don't want disgusting evil faggots living in America either.
This is not only a fight against SHRILLARY!.
This is a fight against her UNHOLY alliance of communists, blacks, illegal aliens, homosexuals, lawyers, baby killers, and mental retards.
Steps need to be taken to permanently deal with these groups and put them into a position where they can no longer threaten normal Americans.
As I recall, 2DV was a Cruzer. Probably still a “closet Cruzer.”
