South Florida Hispanics sound off on Trump's "massive deportations" comment

MIAMI - The political spotlight shined bright on South Florida this week. Besides the third Republican debate and Donald Trump's rally in Hialeah, it is clear the G.O.P. is wooing the Hispanic vote.

"I like Donald Trump because he is very forward, we need a strong man like him (in Washington) said Rolando Longo, a Cuban exile who did attend Tuesday's rally and considered it a privilege for Hialeah to have the former president here.

"When the issue of communism and socialism creeps into the discussion, everything changes for exiles in South Florida," said Mike Madrid, a political analyst and expert on the Latino voter trend. Madrid says older Cuban American voters not only support the GOP but will choose Trump over any other candidate. 

"Trump is number one," said Jesus Ovidez who also said he did not need to see the debate. According to him, many Cuban Americans in this city think like the former president.
