Trump's Florida spokesperson resigns as campaign responds to allegations of Cuba payoffs

It seems almost impossible that, on a morning where the Republican nominee is urging America to watch a sex tape as part of an effort to shame a woman he hasn’t seen in over a decade, and dealing with an expanding investigation into his slush fund/"charity" where the list of violations seems to grow every day, that there could be another big wave about to break over the Trump campaign.

Readers of the Miami Herald are waking up to more news about Trump's activities in Cuba and it has Florida politics on a high boil.

Revelations that Donald Trump’s hotel and casino company secretly spent money trying to do business in Cuba in violation of the U.S. trade embargo roiled Miami politics Thursday, forcing top Cuban-American Republicans to express concern about Trump’s dealings while maintaining that the allegation isn’t reason enough to disavow the presidential nominee yet.
Some people may not be at the “disavow” stage, but others clearly are, as Trump’s Florida spokesperson Healy Baumgardner, resigned this week.

"It is clear the campaign is now going in a direction I am no longer comfortable with."

 Down. That would be the direction.
