Trump won a COUNTY because of the “Latino” vote. A county! He won the CUBAN vote in that county 📢. Cubans in Miami have voted Republican for YEARS. That’s why @marcorubio is a Senator.
Please stop talking about the “Latino vote” on TV if you don’t know s*t about us.

Correction: he won the Latino vote in that county. I believe he has not won the actual county. But my point on Cubans voting for Trump stands. That’s what he’s bragging about. That DID NOT happen here in AZ. 
Arizona Latinos (like most Latinos in the SW) came out big for Biden.
Also worth noting that in some areas of Texas you will also find a lot of Mexicanos who have been there for many generations and tend to be more conservative. I would not be surprised if they went to Trump.
How do I know all this? I worked for @BernieSanders doing Latino outreach. Miami Latinos hated him (except some younger Cubans). Texas was a lost cause for us in 2016, but California and NY loved him. Puertorriqueños started paying attention once he visited the island in 2016.
But even with Puerto Ricans, you have to understand the politics of NY vs the politics in the island. Not to mention the fact that they are citizens of the US, so immigration is not a huge issue there. Anyway, even I am over simplifying right now. The point here is that from...
... now on, I hope the political parties and the media start learning about our history, politics, demographics, etc. Y’all know all about the suburban white women, but had no idea that Cubans tend to vote Republican in Miami? 🙃
