It's not just Cuban hispanics either. People from Venezuela and other places where they faced tough times.

I know the old cubans are just right wing anti castro types. But many hispanics (and this was true of chinese and vietnamense and others) who came from countries that were leftist and suffered there get turned off by socialist talk .

They vote on fear .

I mentioned before that Obama was good at avoiding saying things which turned off groups like this. This was true of white racists also who stopped supporting him after he mentioned that blacks and hispanics are stopped by cops unfairly after the professor gates incident.

I think Biden and KAmala Harris still have the ability to do this. Harris is scheduled to be there and i'm sure Biden will follow up.

I suggested before that Biden needs to run ads showing his support for Small BUsinesses and go after Trump on sucking up to Putin and Kim.
