    Lol, i luvit:

    ".....What politician of any smarts couldn't see that happening? In Omar's case, I think Russian sponsorship is worth looking at, but the others just don't seem to think about these politically strategic things at all. To ditzes such as Ocasio-Cortez and Gabbard, Venezuela is a cartoon drawing on a map mainly useful as a chit for beating President Trump with, even if it involves supporting Russia. And as for how Venezuelans feel about these things, well, the place is socialist and they support socialism, so 'nuff said. Not one of these people considers the feelings of the Venezuelans, or considers that there are living, breathing Venezuelans in Florida. Remember those three million Venezuelans who have fled their country? Well, yes, some have ended up in Florida, with a strong enough presence to swing the vote. The Times mentioned that the other Latinos in Florida tend to support them — Colombians, Nicaraguans, Bolivians, Puerto Ricans, Argentines, and of course Cubans, which magnifies their numbers. These people are a critical mass in Florida, and they know the deal in Caracas.

    President Trump could see that and made a smart alliance with GOP senator Marco Rubio, a former GOP rival, and the pair of them worked as a tag team, with Venezuelan-Americans likely advising them on how to achieve the common goal of getting rid of Maduro. Maduro is on his way out due to that master squeeze from the U.S., with Venezuelans cheering (over in Caracas, they are actually cheering Trump) along with almost all of Latin America and Europe. Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, and Gabbard are going to be left with their Maduro endorsements and no Maduro to speak of in coming weeks, which suggests quite an absence of strategy. More important, they are going to lose their fellow Democrats the huge swing state of Florida. In soccer, this is recognized as kicking the ball into your opponent's net to give them the points, an 'own goal.' Talk about an 'own goal.'"

    Most democrat voters are too stupid to be paying attention. I doubt floridians are any smarter.

    Most Venezuelan-Americans, similar to Nicaraguan-Americans and Cuban-Americans, tend to be pro-Republican and anti-Communist and anti-Socialist. Many of these know what it's like first hand (or at least from their parents) what it is like to live under a dictatorship.

    The city of Doral (where the Trump National is located) is located just west of downtown Miami. Doral's population is heavily Venezuelan-American and the mayor is Venezuelan-American as well.

    I think that the article is right, and this may very well help tilt the state further red in two years.

    in 2000, they couldn't figure out a butterfly ballot, so there's that. Last year, they almost elected a corrupt socialist as governor but the Cubans there have always been conservative, anti-Castro.

    People like AOC are going to fall over themselves over a socialist thug like Marudo, and Trump hates him. Marudo is the choice of AOC and the two Muzzies just like Putin and Russia! Hmmmm...

    "In Florida, Cubans were about twice as likely as non-Cuban Latinos to vote for Donald Trump. More than half (54%) supported the Republican president-elect, compared with about a quarter (26%) of non-Cuban Latinos, according to National Election Pool exit poll data."

    Looks like they need to get a lot wiser.

    That was all the old folks in Broward county, those liberals who moved to Florida from New York. Yes, unfortunately we have a lot of those types down here.

    Most likely, if it hadn't been for the Cuban-Americans in 2018, the state of Florida would have turned blue and we would be talking about President Hillary today.
