Luigi Boria’s love for Donald Trump not shared in Doral

In one of his last ditch efforts to keep his seat, Doral Mayor Luigi Boria — forced intotrumpboriakey a runoff Tuesday — posted a new Facebook video last week in which he compares himself to President-elect Donald Trump.

“Both have achieved the dream of using their experience as successful businessmen to serve the community and this great nation,”Spanish captions read as inspirational music soars and photos of Boria and Trump at Trump’s Doral Golf Resort and Spa and the Miss Universe contest. Even one with the mayor giving Trump the key to the city in 2014.

Someone’s got delusions of grandeur.

“The people saw the progress and honesty in his eyes. Today, together, they will make a difference. His friendship is beneficial for the well being of Doral.”

The video also has an excerpt from a Trump rally here in which trumpvotesour future POTUS says he stands with the people of Cuba and Venezuela. We suppose that he believes he’s going to take votes away from former founding Mayor J.C. Bermudez, who trounced him in the first round wth 46% to 33%.

But who told Boria that this was a good idea? Guess he doesn’t know that Trump lost in Doral. Lost big league. It was yuuuge for Hillary.

According to figures from the Miami-Dade Elections Department, and compiled by political consultant and fellow campaign junkie Giancarlo Sopo, Trump lost every single precinct in Doral except one. And that precinct 373 is kinda sketchy, as my teenager would say. It’s a commercial area and nobody is supposed to live there. I suspect those two votes are invalid. So Trump lost every precinct in Doral.

Citywide, Clinton trounced with 68% of the vote to his 28%. That’s not even close.

Hopefully, voters will give Boria something else to compare with Trump on Tuesday — a wide margin of rejection.
