Just because she's announcing in Florida doesn't mean she's picking a Latino VP. That's a strange jump in logic. It's one of the main battleground states, I wouldn't read too much into it.

if this were someone else, sure.
but this is Hillary, the person who brought a mariachi band to a rally with a lot of Latinos
Romney introduced Ryan in Virginia, McCain introduced Palin in Ohio, it's customary to introduce your VP in a battleground. I guarantee that she's not picking a Latino, anyhow, it seems much more likely to be Kaine, Warren, or Hickenlooper. I wouldn't be surprised if it's someone like Kaine or Hickenlooper to contrast Pence, aka a governor or former governor. Again, thinking it's going to be a Latino because of it being in Florida is a massive reach. Nevada would be the place to introduce a Latino VP, not Florida.
Hil shutting down Pence during 2009 Senate Foreign Affairs Committee hearing
“That is my bottom line, Mr. Pence. My bottom line is: I am here to serve my country, which I have loved ever since I was a little girl. And I’m going to support my president, because he is committed to doing whatever he can in the time he is given to serve to make this a better, safer, more secure world.”
But I do have to say that Pence was pretty respectful there. He's actually very well-spoken in most cases. He honestly was the best choice Trump could have made. Gingrich has too big of a mouth which is bad when Trump already does, and no one likes Christie, especially NJ.
That said, Pence still isn't good for Trump. He's too far to the right on social issues (the country has pretty much accepted gay marriage and is slowly coming to terms on the bathroom issue), so much that he's willing to put his own interests ahead of what's best for the country. In Indiana a good proportion of people do like him, but mostly in the rural counties. The suburban Republican-leaning counties (such as the donut counties around Indy) don't like him much because of RFRA almost killing our economy. They're more like Mitch Daniels: fiscally conservative but don't care too much about social issues as long as business is good.

His approval rating here in Indiana is only about 45%, which is saying something for how red this state is. Even we don't like him. But yeah, he really is a social conservative extremist bigot. Wanting gay marriage illegal again, wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade and make abortion illegal, even in the cases of incest, rape, and potential death of the mother, wanting to permanently defund planned parenthood, wanting to make sure gays aren't allowed to adopt, wanting federal funding for gay conversion therapy, the list goes on and on and on. The scary thing is that he is well spoken, he's not an semi illiterate nincompoop like Palin, so he's able to convince some stupid people that he's not as extreme as he is. But Hillary and co. will do an effective job of painting him as the extremist that he is, I have no doubt.
Only 38 percent of GOP voters in the poll are satisfied with Trump as their nominee, versus 54 percent of Democrats who are satisfied with Clinton.
What's more, a combined 85 percent of all voters - including 78 percent of Republicans - say the GOP is not that unified or only somewhat unified. That's compared with 48 percent of all voters (and 40 percent of Democrats) who say that about the Democratic Party.
Signed up to get a text of the VP choice before anyone else according to that email. Y'all should sign up. The email seems pretty serious about us finding out before the media officially reports anything.
