And this is pretty common knowledge for folks that have been conscious for the past few decades. I wonder why subs thinks he’s stumbled on to something new, here?

Subby is just determined to find and tenaciously cling to any straw that he thinks he can use to salvage his confirmation bias.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Young Cubans are actually shifting away from the Republican party. That's why it's important to create an age cutoff of over 50.

Rick Scott does particularly well among Florida Hispanics for a Republican and that's a major reason why Nelson is in trouble. There's an interesting story there, but Subs just avoids it.

That race is one of the most critical in determining who controls the Senate in November. Were Nelson's seat to flip to red with Scott winning, and Heidi Heitkamp to lose in North Dakota, it would make a Democrat takeover all but impossible. The trouble is that there is almost no predicting the Florida race with the polls flipping almost weekly it seems.

Now Nelson is in trouble, but irrelevant is the "narrow" demographic (that proves to not be narrow ).

If Nelson is going to win his reelection bid, he is going to have to do better among white voters than Hillary. She did terrible among white voters in Florida, and that was a big reason why she lost that state to Trump.

I fervently hope Nelson wins! We don't need more people like Rick Scott in the government!
