Like most, I’m all nerves. And I’m horribly frustrated. Especially with South Florida. But there’s a cure!
The Florida election effort pre-Bloomberg was pathetic.
All summer Trump drilled the idea that Biden was socialist. It could have been cured with exactly one big billboard over the Opalocka interchange: Trump and Putin. But people who should have known better lumped Cubans and other Hispanics together. (Cubans do not consider themselves immigrants and in many cases resent the newcomers.) One billboard, stupid.
Now they have a problem of low turnout in Miami. It could have been cured and still can. This is MIAMI, stupid. Have a party at every poll center. Get every amateur musician in Miami Dade and Broward out there. Keep your masked social distance and play, dance, sing, poetry slam…
Too late to organize? B%^&*. Parkland is less than 20 miles away. Call the kids. TODAY. I guarantee you that the place to be on Tuesday will be the polls.
Get a couple local vendors to provide folding chairs along the line. The big problem will not be turnout; it will be getting people to leave when they are done voting.
PS the screen shot above is from an amazing Harris Get Out the Vote ad. I think it was produced in honor of the end of Peggy Noonan’s credibility.
