Jack Kemp

Many readers will recall that before the 2000 Presidential Election, the Clinton's sending Elian Gonzales back to Cuba turned Floridians of Cuban descent to become Bush voters. One professor estimated this changed 57,000 votes and gave the Presidency to Bush. At the time, I wrote that the Clintons WANTED Gore to lose so that Hillary could run for President in 2004.

Now we saw, either de facto or otherwise, Obama doing the same thing to Hillary Clinton.

The New York Post states:

Obama’s ‘legacy’ drive lost Florida for Clinton

By Mike Gonzalez

November 11, 2016


BEGIN QUOTE

‘Pride goeth before destruction,” Proverbs 16:18 reminds us, and so it was in this election.

The evidence is mounting that President Obama’s overzealous defense of his "opening Cuba” gambit cost Hillary Clinton the state of Florida. That misstep could end up wiping out most of the president’s carefully curated "legacy” achievements.

For the president and his young Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes, the establishment of diplomatic relations with one of the world’s last communist dictatorships became something they weirdly defended from any criticism. Even the smallest amendment that watered down coddling the Castros drew fulminating threats of vetoes from the White House

SECTION OMITTED

The Cuban-American community in Miami was irritated enough to give a second look to Donald Trump, who quickly reacted by shifting from his earlier tepid support for Obama’s Cuba policy to a promise that he would end relations unless Raul Castro began democratic reforms.

END OF QUOTE

Whether President Obama has ideas of seeing his wife Michelle run for President in 2020 or not, the net effect of his actions is the same as what Bill and Hillary Clinton did before the 2000 Election. By moving to legitimize the Castro regime, Obama angered a great number of Cuban voters who might have voted for Hillary but now voted for Trump. This is on top of the estimated one third of Jewish voters in Florida voting for Trump because of the Obama administrations Iran deal and Obama's insults to Prime Minister Netanyahu. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/11/jews_helped_trump_win_florida.html ;

So Democrat History repeating itself has come to bite Hillary in the quite ample seat of her pants suit.
