Aren’t the FL Cubans also increasingly Democrat despite Cruz and Rubio?
Dependent on social class and when they arrived. While there is a twee yuppie segment of the Cuban American population who are Jon Stewart-watching, yuppie libs, a bigger share of Cuban Dems are more recent arrivals.
Yes.
Most people don't realize that the “Conservative” Cubans came in the first immigrant wave around 1960.
Essentially, the first wave was the Cuban upper middle class, those with skilled professions and business owners.
And, much of the first wave could trace their ancestry back to the European Spanish.
The following waves of Cuban immigrants were, in large part, mixed race, low skill, and included many convicts released by Castro.
Large numbers of those follow on groups moved to the New York City area, and they vote overwhelmingly Democrat, including those who settled in Florida.
