I was working the rally for a news channel as a videographer. The NRA humping Republicans better watch out if they want to stay in office. These kids and their parents are pissed and motivated to throw any politician out that accepts money from the NRA. They are looking forward to the mid term elections. Lil Marco is one they are looking at but his term has a few years to go. Rick Scott who wants to run for Bill Nelson's senatorial seat will get his ass kicked. The chicken shit skin head ducked of meeting with the kids. He was MIA. People will remember.

(4,429 posts)at least among the many republicans I worked with in the prisons (they voted for him, but they hated him).
I don't think he can count on a good turn out in a non presidential year election. These kids (and their voting parents) - could make it a very bad year for republicans. Good news for us~!
(And I was surprised to see the turn out, most demonstrations in Tally are quite a bit smaller!!)

(260 posts)A few hundred thousand new residents arrived in Florida in the last few months and they have very little reason to vote for a Republican...
I expect Skeletor will be looking for new work in the private sector after this November...

Indeed! As I watched the coverage yesterday, with all those students and parents and friends rallying for change, I couldn't help thinking - precious few of those kids are gonna be voting for you, republi-CONS! They're gonna want to know how much money you've taken from the NRA and how much you're working for the NRA and not for THEM. They're not gonna forget. And most of them, being of high school age, are at or approaching voting age. That's another whole new crop of new voters who WON'T be voting GOP!

(42,376 posts)We're about 3 hours south of Tally. Two members, a couple, came rushing in a bit late. They had just driven down from Tally. They just wanted to be there.
They are a retired couple - walked 3 miles back and forth from parking to experience the rally. They were so impressed and inspired.
