talk me down...

MSNBC just had a reporter on saying that Latino's in FL are breaking for Trump any truth to that?

1. Cubans have historically voted republican so

I would expect them to vote for Twitler. I’ve heard Biden has launched a push in that market.

2. To the best of

my knowledge, a large percentage of Florida Latinos have always been radical right-wingers.

11. I grew up in Miami in the 70s & 80s

HARD right. Communism thrown around as a scare tactic, though many are on social security and Medicare. The Elian Gonzalez thing was crazy.


I hope younger Latinos are trending more towards Dems

12. Welcome to DU XanaDUer2

I read somewhere (I can't remember where) that the Anti-Castro Cubans and their children tend to be very conservative. Their grand children and great grandchildren are trending more moderate to liberal. It will take time for ideologies to flip in our favor.

13. Thanks!

This is actually my second time here- I rejoined a few months ago. I'd actually been on DU since it started - thus the 2 after my username. Yes, let's hope younger Cubans trend left.

3. It looks like there is some cause for concern...

But, Biden has time to gain more support.

4. Yes i suspect it's a problem.

However, i think it's mostly confined to Florida. No way Biden is as competitive as he is in Texas and leading in Arizona without running well with hispanics there.

5. 2 things ...Bloomberg is spending 100 mil in FL for a dem win. We don't need FL to get to 270

[Demsrule86]

6. No, that is bullshit. Cubans always go for the GOP...

[MaryMagdaline]

7. Cubans, Venezuelans and Columbians here are Republican

The “socialist” tag hurts.

[smirkymonkey]

8. Yet they seem to have no problem with dictators.

[MaryMagdaline]

9. Yes. We've got some homegrown fascists here

[Sneederbunk]

10. What about the Puerto Ricans?
