(4,131 posts)Look at the totals - even if we had won Miami Dade by HRCs margin in 2016 (which was considered quite good), we would still have lost by more votes this time than in 2016 although it would have been close.
Theres a lot wrong in Florida besides the Cuban vote.

We have so many more voters but in all the wrong places.

We can still do really well in Florida, as long as we recover the progress we had made among Cuban-Americans. Hillary won them as recently as 2016. So even though we didn't do well with them in this election, I am confident that we can do much better in 2024.

Iowa, Florida, and Ohio are going that way

(10,500 posts)That was only 4 years ago. I think in 2024 we will do much better.

(10,014 posts)but MO seems more accurate. It looks like IA will lose 2 Congressional seats and several seats in the Iowa Senate and House.
My heart is broken because I knew Trump and Ernst might win but the two congressional seats were a shock and not reflected in the polls.
