The most any Democrat has ever gotten, mostly from younger people, but I suspect that the Florida attempts at minority voter suppression might have had something to do with it. The older expatriates that were Republican strong are starting to kick the bucket, like all of the GOP's main supporters. The younger cubanos seem a bit more liberal. And we Hispanics don't need no stinkin' Marco Rubio and George P. Bush. We've got JULIAN AND JOAQUIN CASTRO!!!!

The "Let's Divide the Black, White, Brown, Red, Yellow, Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, Transgendered, Female" Coalition and call it Latino "Outreach" project, will not work. Period.

The more Senator Rubio is out front in public now, defending the GOP's highly unpopular policies and positions, the easier he will be to defeat should he get their Presidential nomination in 2016.

really think Hispanics are THAT naive?? Apparently so. They should be embarrassed, but of course they aren't. Think I'll brush up on my Spanish.

He has all the charisma of Mitt Romney with out the cash and he has all the gravitas of Sarah Palin. For the life of me I can't recall anything he's ever said or done. He is mundane personified.
