Yet another group that has become disenfranchised from the right in the Cubans in south FL. They used to be overwhelmingly Republican and helped win many elections for the Right in FL. Now they are drifting to the left as well, meaning one of the only minority groups that usually always voted Republican was lost.

While nothing would surprise me, the right just does not have the numbers to win a presidential race. They would basically have to pull a rabbit out of their hat and find a Republican version of what Obama was in his campaign.

Now due to gerrymandering, they can still hold strong in the senate and house races, but even that is coming to a end. In FL for example, a judge just ruled that the FL state GOP broke the law by redistricting for the last election, which greatly favored the Republicans. They now have to reverse the redistricting and go back to a previous set up.
Welcome home, lemming!
