Florida Republicans are warning that President Donald Trump’s Venezuela policy and his strident calls for Nicolás Maduro’s regime to be toppled could backfire if Maduro stays in place and makes Trump look weak.
According to a Sunday Washington Post report, the country’s fate is very important to some Floridian immigrant communities who hail from Venezuela and Cuba, factions that Trump desperately wants in 2020.
“We can always expect a close race in Florida,” former congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) told the Post. “The administration’s actions with regard to Venezuela could make all the difference, either in getting the President across the finish line in Florida, or, if this effort stalls, it could also cost him.”
Has Vlad told Donnie to back off yet ?
Asking for a friend
OK, so the choice is to get into a war that could turn into another Vietnam/Iraq in addition to turning most of Central and South America against the US or possibly lose Florida in 2020. I am sure that the Repukes will select whatever decision is the worst, unless Putin decides otherwise.
If someone is still indecisive about Trump at this moment, he/she will turn out to be a Trump voter.
Yes, the regime should definitely listen to former congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-FL). Aside from the fact that most of the Rethugs in FL probably don’t even know or care where Venezuela is, aside from the fact that another ground war would be very unpopular with the rest of the country that aren’t feral trumpers, and aside from the fact that Vlad wouldn’t stand for it.
You tell them, Carlos.
Which means that Real Democrats Donna Shalala and Debbie Wasserman Schultz will step right up to support their good friends on the other side of the aisle. Thank the gods and goddesses we have “Real” Democrats like Shalala and Wasserman Schultz to protect us from eeeeeeeeeeeeevil, usurping, Fake Democrats…
