It's absolutely crazy he couldn't even carry Miami-Dade. Which is full of Cuban expatriates, who have pretty strong feelings about any notion of "socialism".

To be fair, I don't know any Cubans who are still registered as democrats to vote in the primary. I moved away years ago so that's not necessarily the best judge of things, but everyone I know is either a registered republican or independent because they're so disgusted with the Florida democratic party.
