Trump is HANDING you Puerto Rican voters in Florida. On a platter.
It's a layup. But the Democrats will do just what they did in 2016: jack, followed by squat.
3/ Know why Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis won more PR voters than the Dems expected?— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) April 2, 2019
Because they DID THE WORK.
Put ideology aside. I'll bet you a dollar the FL Dem Party doesn't have a program to do this. I know the DNC, those incompetents, don't.
5/ Just watch. They'll say, "We have a program and x people on the ground." Reality: they don't have a program, and no one is on the ground doing id, registering, and comms to PR voters except the GOP.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) April 2, 2019
