Unfortunately, that solid R base is gradually eroding, at an increasing rate, with all the northerners moving down there. Toss in a healthy contingent of PRs and I’m think Florida is pretty much Blue on the national level. They almost elected a admitted Socialist, who should probably be in prison right now.
Well the thing is this generation of Americans with Cuban parents or grandparents from the boatlift are trending Dem in pretty big numbers also.
And I gotta be honest, i’m from Staten Island and anyone i know who moved to Florida was a conservative.
But I guess manhattan has about 14 times more people and it’s hard to cancel out.
I figured conservative upstate folks moving south would help even it out a little more though.
