Florida Republicans target gun shows to find Trump voters

[dixiegrrrrl]

Either trump's camp is just plain stupid, or they don't care at all about optics..

Actually, the tone of the memo, below, sounds like an 18 year who thinks they have a good idea.

An internal “Trump Victory Team” email circulated Thursday, days after a pair of mass shootings stunned the nation, said the upcoming gun show in South Florida was “a great opportunity to make sure people are up to date on their voter registration and know more about the efforts of the Trump administration to address public safety and second amendments rights.”

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Joe Gruters defended the plan to solicit voters at the gun show.

“We are not going to let some sick deranged individual who committed those terrible acts distract us from efforts to help law abiding citizens participate in the process,” said Gruters, a state senator.

Democrats, he said, “are trying to use this as a wedge to halt any efforts we have.”

Of course NRA targets new members at gun shows too.

They would register people at the gun bashes that all the local fire departments run.

11. I seriously have concerns about how elections are being conducted

When it comes to vote counting in some of these rural areas. I hope we (Democrats) have observers at all the rural precincts.

Who knows how many NC-9's are out there.
