Villagers out campaigning for Donald Trump: ‘Now is the time’

Donald Trump supporters were campaigning Saturday morning at the intersection of U.S. 301 and State Road 44.

Sue Cianci, who owns a home in the Village of Charlotte, was once a Goldwater Girl.

Today’s she’s all in for Trump.

“He says what he thinks. Just like me,” she said.

The Trump campaigners were getting lots of honks and waves of support.

One motorist rolled down his window and shouted, “Nobama! Nobama!” apparently oblivious to the fact that the current White House occupant won’t be on the ballot this year.

Paula Bedner of the Village of Sanibel, who moved here from Virginia, said she hopes Florida newbies catch onto to the fact that Florida has a closed primary. In other words, you have to be a registered Republican at least 30 days prior to the primary in order to vote for Trump who is running as a Republican.

The Florida Primary is set for March 15.

“People have been shut up and told not to speak up for too long. Now is the time,” Bedner said.
