30% is a large percentage for any group in a tight race. Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. and has been for a very long time. I doubt many of them have a lot of sympathy for Mexicans either. Again, you can't lump Hispanics together. They have different histories and different life perspectives.
Puerto Ricans overwhelmingly support Democrats. Not everything is about Mexicans.
You can't lump all Latino's or Hispanics together. Cubans are very different from most other Hispanics with a very different history. Also, historically, Cubans and Mexicans have never been the best of friends and don't see each other as equals. It's unlikely that many Cubans will have much sympathy for people from Mexico, especially illegals.
Older Cubans, not younger Cubans. The younger ones are why Obama carried the Cuban vote in 2012. Their share of the electorate is shrinking as well. More Latinos from PR and Central America are moving into Florida.

Puerto Ricans reliably vote Democrat. Trump isn't going to make any real inroads with them. He will defiantly get most older Cubans but lose the rest of the Hispanic vote.
We'll have to disagree. Florida is a toss up at this point and Trump can win it as easily as Hillary can. It will all depend on what's in the news the next 4 months and how Trump and Hillary conduct themselves from this point forward. It's still anyone's state to win. Even Rubio will probably get his senate seat back even though up until recently, no one thought he had a chance of doing that.

OK, then let's just give the state to Hillary since according to the vast consensus here, there's really no point in having an election even though the most recent polls show Trump in a very good position in Florida. Carry on....

No, he could still win. He isn't going to win the Hispanic vote though. No matter how many Rick Scott super pac funded polls say he will. He will have to cut into her lead with them and do better among white voters is all. The state is a tossup state at this point. But it's defiantly more crucial for him to win it than her.
