FL Latino voters are mostly Cuban and conservative as far as I can tell. LisaL Sep 2020 #1

I hope they are countering it and taking it seriously.

said that is exactly what is happening. The Dems need the Puerto Ricans to counter the Cuban vote.
The Lincoln Project will be advertising to them as well.

Latin American socialism.

Biden needs to go on a campaign counter-offensive and educate them. Emphasize that he's pro-schools and he needs money to fix the problems of public schools.

It was a specific and tailor made ads targeting the Cuban Latino population in FL and I had my worries back then. We might not be able to convince a major of them that Biden isn't a socialist but we have to at least keep the gap lower. So Biden has to do something to counter that narrative.

Aside from white supremacy, i.e. un-Christ-like christianity, I can't figure what anyone means when they call themselves conservative. It sure as hell doesn't stand for fiscal responsibility, "family values," personal accountability or freedom from government intrusion in our personal lives. So I'm left scratching my head. If I was to peek under the lid of a "conservative Cuban Floridian," what the hell would I see?

Anti-abortion, you are a conservative. Anti-socialist, you are a conservative. Because you won't be a democrat.

But it's all a misunderstanding on their part. Florida cubans are so hot-headed, there's no breaking through this belief, as unfounded as it is.

16. Cubans are hot headed so we brainstormed to nominate Andrew Gillum

No matter how many times I mention that name in derisive fashion, it is not enough. Gillum was like lighting a flame on all the fears of a corrupt socialistic takeover

Trump does not lead among Florida Hispanics. But the gap is closer than it should be due to Andrew Gillum.

The underlying problem is that GOP messages Florida all year long while Democratic operations are always the final two months only. So now you've got Florida Hispanic voters being told 24/7/365 that Democrats are socialists and only now will there be any ads saying no we're not.

I saw a poll today that said the only demographic IMPOTUS is leading in is white men 35-64. If that poll bears out, it will be a landslide of epic proportions.

It's now a strategy I am seeing in other countries. Stop the Spread of Socialism! The take-over is beginning. That kind of thing.
