Near the end of Wednesday's CNN/Univision Democratic debate, Jorge Ramos gave Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders his "Welcome to Miami" question, asking if the candidates supported President Obama's detente with Cuba and considered Raul Castro a president or a dictator. Clinton said that she backs opening relations with Cuba, viewing it as a way to bring democracy to the island nation. She called Raul and Fidel Castro "authoritarian and dictatorial."
Maria Elena Salinas tweaked the question for Sanders, noting that in the 1980s he had offered praise for Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega (who is once again leader of Nicaragua) and playing a video of him saying positive things about Fidel Castro, then Cuba's leader. She asked if Sanders wanted to take back his positive assessments of Castro, an especially unpopular figure in South Florida, and Ortega. Sanders talked about decades of U.S. policy in Latin America, including support for many coups.
When pressed by Salinas, he said that "it would be wrong not to state" that the Castros have done good things with medicine and education.

This is what we dont need
Great sound bite to use during the general. Pretty much locks up Florida for Trump, if done correctly.
They will say worse things about TRUMP than they can bring themselves to do about a guy who took power by killing hundreds of innocent people and denying freedoms for the past 56 years to an entire country.
“the Castros have done good things with medicine and education.”
The liberal myth continues
Wages in Cuba run between $12 to $25 a month.
The rulers of Cuba have billions of dollars.
This tells us everything, literally everything we need to know about Socialism.
A culture of corruption that rises to the top ranks of The Party.
At least Bernie is an honest Communist, rather than a closet Communist like Obamessah and the Hildabeast.
Bernie Sanders is part of the 1960s Marxist cadre that loved and worked with the Soviet Union and promoted and worked with Cuba’s Fidel Castro to turn the U.S. into a Communist country. Under their discipline, Barack Obama, their agitating and infiltrating have just about succeeded. These creeps have been visiting Cuba for many years and serving as Castro’s propagandists. Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama are coming from the same place.
Did he also make the trains run on time Bernie?
One commie to another
Its a mistake to call Bernie a socialist as if he is different from your run-of-the-mill Democrat. Ask any Dem to explain the difference between a Democrat and a socialist, and they can’t, because there isn’t.
In any case, no Democrat will ever be able to explain why socialism is a bad thing. Because for them it isn’t, it is who they are.
Socialism always brings oligarchy; they just always assume they’ll be part of the oligarchy.
Scratch a socialist, and you’ll find a monarchist. At heart every socialist pines for a king to set things right. When the government owns everything and runs everything, everything will be fair. They are just waiting for the right man to come along to make it so. Chavez, Castro, Obama, whatever, whoever.
Because sanders is also a marxist willing to violate the rights of the citizens to acheive leftist goals.
Communist Cuba tells Obama exactly what he will get from his historic visit to Havana: Nothing.

He sure looks like one of those charming dudes from the 60’s... with a corduroy jacket, LOL.
You're right on that... it'll lock up Florida...
