5. Yes but Biden's margin is not high enough

Hillary won Hispanics 62-35 in Florida yet still lost. In 2018 Gillum and Nelson carried the block by much lower numbers, in the 54-45 range.

I've long suspected and predicted we will not receive the same split of the Hispanic vote as 2016, simply because the block has a long history of benefit of a doubt to incumbents. Biden leading by 20% sounds good but it probably needs to be closer to 25% to carry the state.

Florida was going to be a disaster with Sanders as nominee. He would have wiped out many lower tier races.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
