There's no sizable pro-free trade bloc in the Florida electorate. Not sure what demographic you're suggesting exists that would vote like that. In a lot of Rust Belt states, it's easy to point out which folks are voting against free trade, because the impacts of free trade are tangible (this factory shut down, that kinda thing). There's no opposite effect of similar magnitude in Florida, or anywhere else for that matter.
As for Julian Castro, he would have done nothing to win Florida. Given his last name, he may have hurt the ticket. If it's Luis Gutiérrez then maybe you get enough of an effect on turnout in the Orlando burbs to swing the state, but that's unlikely. There's not really any other nationally prominent Cuban or Puerto Rican Democrats (even Gutiérrez is a stretch).
