Sink lost the 2010 governors race to Rick Scott. The Democratic Party sunk extensive ad funding into the congressional battle, and DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) tried to paint the loss as a positive.

This is an old political tactic. Get someone to run to take votes away from your opponent.
Just remember that it often works. Close elections can be thrown that way.
BTW...Sanders stated he may run in the next election for POTUS. If he runs as an Indy, he will take votes away from the Dumbocrat.

Dems love kicking a dead horse but they would be wise to flush Sink down the drain!

Come on folks, weve been going over those numbers for decades now. The LP isnt stealing conservative votes in larger numbers than they are stealing from the liberals. That's right, and this election demonstrates that in spades.

YES! He, more or less, said that Hillary was not the one to take this country where it needs to go. When I read that article the other day I was so happy, I almost peed my pants. RUN BERNIE RUN!!!
