Pundits don't pay attention to the Latino vote unless it's hard right Cuban-Americans who live in Miami and fantasize about invading Cuba and taking back their mansions. Weirdly those people are Republicans so Bernie is doomed!
I grew up in Miami. Jews and latinos in Miami are not like jews and latino in the rest of the country. Miami is... weird. It's an entertaining multi-cultural pirate ship where everyone hates each other but likes everyone else's cuisine and is perennially annoyed by the Dolphins.
Miami had the greatest quarterback of all time Dan Marino and didn't win a Super Bowl. It is not representative of politics anywhere else.

This has been another episode of inside Matt Stoller's head.
I love Miami and Florida. It's the best weirdest place. Watch every @BillyCorben documentary.

Also one of the subtexts of financial crises I found in Goliath is that every crisis in the 20th century had two ingredients. Citibank and Florida real estate. simonandschuster.com/books/Goliath/…
@BillyCorben Anyone who wants a free reality TV show idea:

Miami Bar Mitzvah

You're welcome.
@BillyCorben As @BillyCorben has noted, the biggest business in Florida is Medicare fraud. This is not a normal place. Also Florida hides from its super-confederate history but it was the lynching capital of America from 1877-1950. browardpalmbeach.com/news/florida-l…
@BillyCorben Florida politicos have helped steal TWO Presidential elections, one in 1876 that ended Reconstruction and one in 2000 that gave us George W. Bush. Trump has his base here.

It is not a normal state.
