It seems like every Democrat candidate is using Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump 
in their mailers against their counter party opponents. Our mailboxes are full of Trump comparisons in what is a very obvious concerted effort to motivate Democrats and keep disgusted Republican voters home (read: GOTV and voter suppression).
But Trump isn’t enough for Sen. Anitere Flores. So the Florida Democratic Party has thrown the entire GOP conservative bloc against her.
In their attempt to turn that Senate seat blue, the state Dems have sent out mailers attacking Anitere on her time as president of Doral “College,” an extension of charter high schools that is still not accredited, and her votes on guns. That’s the one that shows not only Trump but a menagerie of the most right Republicans of our time.
“On a scale from 1 to extremely wrong on gun issues, Anitere Flores is off the charts,” says the mailer, next to a photo of the senator and photos of Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Rick Scott and Ben 
Carson. Ted Freaking Cruz?!
What? No George Bush? When did he stop being the villain we blame for everything?
And you’d think the smart consultants at the Florida Democratic Party would do Congressman Patrick Murphy a solid by including a photo of Sen. Marco Rubio in this photographic line-up, but noooooo. Maybe they didn’t want to piss off all the Cuban voters.
The mailer goes on to say that Flores is a “radical Republican… endangering our community and our families” and that she voted to let guns at Disney World, public parks and workplaces. But not really.
In 2008, she did vote for a bill — which passed and was known as the “Bring Your Gun to Work” law — that would let anybody who already has a concealed weapons permit, except teachers and people who work with fireworks, to take their guns to their place of work and leave them in the car. More recently, in 2015, she voted to strengthen “stand your ground” laws that make it difficult to prosecute questionable “self-defense” shootings.
But that’s not putting guns in daycares.
And when it says she voted to remove all local gun laws, what it means is that she voted for a statewide law that would not allow local municipalities to keep or create their own gun legislation.
What it doesn’t say is that Flores was also the only Florida Republican who signed off requesting a special session on gun control after the mass Orlando shooting this year.
Sarah Palin would not approve.
