The Dems want Florida in their column....really, really bad. This is merely a “get out the vote” campaign for them...AND...it’s aimed at whites.
The Left is losing everywhere you look. Trump is just trouncing these people even without strong support from his own party. But the Left saw this thing which is, at its heart, a local crime story made possible by the failure of local (and not so local) law enforcement, and the Left said, "Maybe we can use this and do some winning for a change."
But I think the Left will lose here too.
