How to Give the Democrats Another Seat

Leneghan, the Liberty County trustee, is seen by most as a wild-card candidate. She’s staked out a more conservative lane than other Republicans ... [More]
Which means those seen as more likely candidates are perceived as surrender weasels on matter of core principle...

And that means any fire in the belly needed for inspired consituents will more likely be subdued, if not extinguished. So if a Democrat wins, look for it to be portrayed by the establishment and its media cheerleaders as a rejection of swamp-draining.

If I get time I'd like to revisit this race and stake out the Republican field's individual positions on guns and immigration, especially beyond lip service. If anybody wants to beat me to it, feel free to post a comment or send me a link.

I checked various tabs on the guy's Facebook page, and he's a supporter of Ted Deutch and belongs to the ACLU of Broward County group, "Justice Democrats" and the like, so we're talking a doctrinaire lefty activist who doesn't seem to find that worth mentioning while he gets promoted as a "normal American" who's had "enough."

He resigned after The Baltimore Sun asked about three lawsuits from Strange’s five-year career as a Baltimore police officer. Pugh confirmed that she had accepted Strange’s resignation in a statement late Wednesday.

Commies Always Were Historical Revisionists

Some of the members of the Florida Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) are very anti-gun and they are proposing and pushing gun ban and gun control amendments to put in the Florida Constitution. [More]
It would help if there was some indication of which commissioners are enemies and which are approachable, and what leverage exists and with whom.  I'd also be interested in knowing how many of the commissioners are on board with citizen disarmament besides Smith, Martinez, Coxe, Plymale, Joyner, and Kruppenbacher, which are names gleaned from the linked proposals.

I'm not a big believer in appealing to known enemies who are secure in their seats. It would also seem approaching those who appointed them might be fruitful, provided expectations can be backed with consequences.

Then again, all of this presupposes a critical mass of gun owners are willing to actually do something using the system that's in place. My guess is most don't even know the commission exists, let alone what it's up to.
