Most Cubans in America are “white”.

Yes, they’re white: Spaniards who took a detour into Cuba for a couple of generations.

It has not been mentioned, but the Naturalized Haitians voted against the bitch by voting for Trump also. I also voted against the bitch by voting for Trump. In closing, I will add that for the good of the Country, the bitch needs her neck stretched, not a Pardon.

A Cuban lady I once worked with had a personal dislike for Mexicans. She always referred to them as “Los Indios”...I believe it translated as “Indians”.

I was surprised to see this also. I must be confused about the location of Spain and it’s place in european history. Who knew?

The democrats think that Hispanics are a monolith. They think Cuban American and Mexican American have similar traits and are going to vote the same. Well they are wrong. Cubans find almost no similarity between themselves and Mexicans. And you can find that Puerto Ricans really hate being called Mexican.

Just like its stupid to group someone from Japan, China, Western Russia and India all together as Asians. Hispanics are very different depending on their country of origin, their ethnic background (From Brazil are you ethnically African, German, Indian or Portuguese) and how you came to the US. Carmen Miranda has nothing to do with Gisele or Pele. And they all called themselves Brazilian.

Cuban-Americans have been reliably Republican for a very long time. This was no surprise to anyone familiar with Florida politics. It’s hilarious how naive the Hellary campaign was, they thought that they had Florida sewn up because of “hispanics”.

LOL!

Folks, be sure to keyword-tag stories like this one “trumpwinsagain” so the growing collection of “Trump Wins... Again” stories (http://freerepublic.com/tag/trumpwinsagain/index) is kept up to date

I don’t think the 56% is correct for the white vote (not that it matters), more like 61%, based on my spreadsheet which factors how the minorities voted. Either way, once again the Republicans got the CUBAN VOTE!!! ...which has to gnaw at Democrats to no end.

Could it be that Obama unilaterally recognizing the Castro regime damaged Democrat inroads with the Cuban community here?

“The surname “Cuban” was shortened from “Chabenisky” when his Russian grandparents landed on Ellis Island.”

The bulk of Cubans coming here especially in the early days were upper and middle class escaping from Castro’s Soviet oriented socialism. Decades later they were joined by the “Marielitos” kicked out of Cuba as undesirables. The younger generation tends to vote more liberal than their parents. Don’t count on a continuing R trend as the old folks die off.

Someone should make a spreadsheet for this sh!t. Too confusing to know when an Hispanic is white and when they aren’t... Although I suspect it looks something like good behavior=Oppressed Hispanic/Latino, bad behavior = oppressor white.

I suspect Trump got a higher percentage of the African American vote generally than the 8% that the media are reporting.

That figure is based on exit poling and I just wonder how many black Trump supporters would answer "Trump" when asked who they voted for. The left has done their vilification work too well.
