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.

Yeah might as well vote for the stoner, because the country is a goner if they do.

Well the problem is he is not the manager there, though by all rights he should be. But there are ways to keep him from being in control. All he can do is state his case and if they deny him the nomination, say how crooked the whole scam is, and again he will be right. Being right, however, does not always mean you will come out on top. But I understand what you mean. These people though hate him to the core and nothing he could say will sway them.

They are playing a dangerous game, because not only with the Republican Party be history, so will the Republic.

I think you need to read my post again, as I was asking 2DV a question regarding what he said. I’m not looking anywhere at all.

Actually, my Boss was with me and he gave as good as we got.

I was cracking up.

What are you talking about?

Hillary is winning by 10%, I tell Democrats.

Trump is behind by 5%, I tell Republicans & Independents.

It is my prediction that we win 40 states. That includes Florida and many more, including 2 or 3 states from the “Acela” primary.

I was cracking up.

Lol.
Hopefully, Mr Trump will get a large percentage of the Mexican American vote. Trump is going to help them and blacks and all minorities.
But all illegals need to go back to their home countries so our minorities and all of us - will have more jobs available to the citizens of our USA.

I volunteered the day Cruz suspended his campaign. Haven’t heard a peep yet.

I volunteered and sent cash to Trump, I get a standard thank you reply, but not a word about doing any work for the campaign.

I really think they are waiting until after the convention.
