The Cuban Americans will be depressed and not turn out now that Judge Lagoa won't be around to "energize" them.
Politico will be sad also. They said that nominating Judge Lagoa guaranteed Toad FL's electoral votes and likely the election! Too bad so sad!
FL is likely ours now. Toad blew his last chance to win it by nominating what he presumes to be the safe choice instead.

(3,405 posts)Just the average of a Trump voter fatigue is 10% so he was destined to get only 46% anyway. But I have never seen the Cuban vote as being the breaking point of the Florida electorate.

Add up the Puerto Ricans and military types in the panhandle, aren't the Cubans kinda lost?

(3,010 posts)The generation that left Cuba, and the first-generation children of exiles, are aging. Younger Cuban-Americans havent grown up with the same level of hatred toward Castro as their predecessors.

(3,405 posts)It was a sweet nod to the Cuban community, but the evangelicals are ruthless evil when it come to trusting anyone other than their own.
I have had a lifetime of being burned by the GOP since 1979. Now from that experience I can feel the heat of a GOP fart wind.

(1,835 posts)That the Palin pick guaranteed Sen. Obama's victory. I was right!

(2,497 posts)And you might be right again, it just can't be a statement of fact if it hasn't happened yet. Yeah I'm a stickler about language. And I'm sick of Republicans lying I don't want us to be like them
