Have the democrats stopped bleeding among hispanic voters ?

Y’all are still doomed. Sorry

? Aight?

Anyways I don’t think it ever was a “bleed”. There have always been some groups under the hispanic umbrella, mostly in RGV and Miami-Dade who are much more aligned with swing voters then given credit for. It’s just the usually do so in large uniform chunks.

For example; 2000 and 2004 Miami-Dade went for the democrat by just 52%. In 2008 it went up to 58% for Obama in 2008, 61% in 2012, to 64% in 2016 for Clinton.

In 2020 they went down to their Bush era level of 53%. For a county as large as Miami-Dade to fluctuate that significantly shows a very large amount of swing voters who are not reliable votes for either party, but crucial to winning Florida

So did Cubans just really like Obama and HRC for some reason?

I think there's an argument to be made that Obama, for whatever reason, was a uniquely appealing candidate to Hispanics, and this is just a reversion to the Bush-era mean.
