Biden likens Trump to Fidel Castro as candidates battle to win Latino voters

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden likened President Trump to the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro while speaking with Univision Orlando on Tuesday.

Trump has accused Biden of being a tool of the far left, claiming Democrats are pushing socialist ideas, but the former vice president turned that comparison around in an interview with the Spanish language outlet.

"Trump has more in common with Castro than with Churchill," Biden said, adding, "Look who he admires. He admires Putin, he admires Xi, he admires everyone who behaves in an authoritarian way. I am the exact opposite. I have faith in the democratic system."

Many of Florida's Spanish-speaking residents arrived in the Sunshine State after fleeing socialist or communist regimes such as Castro's Cuba. The former vice president is looking to gain ground among Hispanic voters in the battleground state as Trump held a narrow lead over him with that demographic in an NBC/Marist poll last week. The same poll had the two candidates in a deadlock for overall support in the state.

Wait a minute. I thought Castro was a hero for many on the left, including today’s left. Did Biden just insult them?

Biden is very adept at saying anything without any regard for reality.

I get confused. How do we win ‘Latino voters’? Race/Ethnicity - it matters? It doesn’t matter?

This must be the most ignorant campaign in the history of campaigns since when Caligula placed his horse, Incitatus, into the senate.

LOL - this will go over real well with those people who know who Castro was, what he did and actually suffered at his hands.

All El Presidente Trump needs to say to Hispanic Voters is:

¿Qué tienes que perder? (What have you got to lose?)
