Cuban-Americans have been reliably Republican for a very long time. This was no surprise to anyone familiar with Florida politics. It’s hilarious how naive the Hellary campaign was, they thought that they had Florida sewn up because of “hispanics”.
LOL!
The bulk of Cubans coming here especially in the early days were upper and middle class escaping from Castro’s Soviet oriented socialism. Decades later they were joined by the “Marielitos” kicked out of Cuba as undesirables. The younger generation tends to vote more liberal than their parents. Don’t count on a continuing R trend as the old folks die off.
