Percentage of Hispanic vote Marco Rubio would win if nominated

[justW353]

Cuban-Americans have been drifting away from the Right as Fidel Castro becomes less relevant...

That explains why I am left-wing.... oh wait.

Maybe my siblings? Errr... nope.

Cubans in Florida? Uh... not really...

Cuban politicians? Oh wait, that's Rubio.

Who then?

Cuban Americans are still well aware of who the Castros are. The younger generation simply does not want the embargo. Big difference.

Strangely enough, you don't live in Florida...Yes, Cubans in Florida are moving to the left.  I would know, I lived in Florida up until last spring.

Also, your generalizations are horrible.  "My siblings and I are right-wing, which means all Cubans must be right wing!111!! DUH!11!!!"

You have Mel Martinez, Marco Rubio, and Carlos Alvarez...That's it for Florida.

Look, the refugees vote Republican.  The refugees aren't going to be around forever.  Look at the polling, and you'll see that Hispanics under 30 in Miami-Dade voted overwhelmingly for Obama - something like 70 to 30.

You the one that made the biggest generalization. The only generalization I made was that Cubans Americans in Florida were not moving all that much (which is true). You generalization was that they all moved far to the left.

lolwut?

I used polling numbers, not my own goddamn opinion like you.
