      My understanding is that Cubans are the largest Hispanic Republican voting block due to the lingering betrayal by Kennedy during the Bay of Pigs invasion. Where Kennedy denied the Cuban liberation further air support than was promised during the attack to free Cuba which led to their eventual defeat.

      We can only hope this latest betrayal by Trump will flip these sentiments back for the new generation.

        that makes some sense, the prevalent theory was that Cubans see democrats as communists and therefore closer to a Fidel repeat…

        needless to say that explanation it stupid on every level

    Don’t worry. South Florida Republicans will spin up their disinformation radio stations before the next election and they’ll forget all this stuff. Like they always do here in this cursed state.
