This Tuesday, February 13th, Florida has it's last special election before November. Typically, Sarasota is written off as deep red, but the latest poll shows
Democrat Margaret Good in the lead. It might have something to do with the fact that the GOP candidate, James Buchanan, has zero qualifications--except for being the son of
the most corrupt politician in Florida. Meanwhile, Margaret is an amazing attorney, an excellent fundraiser, and has been campaigning like crazy because,
unlike her opponent, she isn’t terrified to talk to voters.

The race should have been a cakewalk for the GOP, but it’s been anything but.

The FL GOP has tried everything that has worked for them in the past, from slimy personal attacks to outlandish claims, but nothing has been able to stop Margaret Good's momentum.

Desperate, the FL GOP has decided to go lower. They went full-on Trump, and called Corey Lewandowski.<p>
Corey Lewandowski's only claim to fame is being a fired Trump hangerz-on who is best known for attacking a female reporter and then sexually assaulting a pro-Trump singer.
It's despicable the Florida GOP and their candidate, James Buchanan, would regard him as a "headliner" for an event.
The rally was as deplorable as you would expect. White supremacist hate nonsense against immigrants and feminists, (blah, blah). The GOP candidate for attorney general, Jay Fant, had the crowd pledge their loyalty to the orange fuhrer by having them declare "We Are Trumpers".
Of course, because apparently this is 2016, the crowd broke into a chant: "Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up!”
What does that have to do with Margaret Good? Absolutely nothing—except that she is a woman, a Democrat, and winning. Trump supporters would love to lock people like that up. I would prefer that happen to men who attack women. But I guess that’s the difference between the GOP and me.
Send the GOP a message. This isn’t 2016...and it damn sure isn’t 1933.
The election is this Tuesday! If you are in Sarasota or know someone who is, tell them to VOTE!
