56. Why are you panicking about FL?

Latinos are not the Borg. They do not all vote the same. Different Latinos vote differently, depending on where they're from.

FL = Cubans. CA, NM, AZ, TX = Mexicans

The majority of Cubanos vote r. Mexican-Americans have tended to vote D.

So, no, it's not a surprise that FL Latinos favor the r. It's entirely expected.
