Florida Democrats not thrilled with Bernie’s defense of Castro

“I’m totally disgusted and insulted,” said Lourdes Diaz, the president of the Democratic Hispanic Caucus in Broward County, who is Cuban-American. “Maybe this will open people’s eyes to how super, super liberal and radical Bernie is. I’m not going to defend him anymore. I’m over it.”…

The comments ricocheted across Miami, a bastion of Cuban exiles where any defense of Mr. Castro is seen as disqualifying to hold public office. Many Cuban-Americans are Republicans, but those who are Democrats have been increasingly worried that Mr. Sanders’s views on Cuba and other authoritarian leaders in Latin America could cost the party support among Hispanic voters.

I very much doubt Bernie cares. He is a rigid ideologue, as inflexible as Andre Gromyko or Viacheslav Molotov.

Come you guys in Open Primary states we have got to get Bernie the nomination. Don’t worry about President Trump, he has his nomination in the bag. I want Bernie to be his competitor and I don’t want it to be close enough to allow the dems to cheat him out of the nomination without alienating enough of their party to do great harm to them.

Bernie has a serious chance of winning the presidency if he gets the nomination. There’s a lot of dumb people - young people, the “client class” of all colors, the dead and illegals - who will happily vote for a Marxist who promises them freebies. Don’t fall for Rush’s stupid “Operation Chaos” again.

I think Rush meant well, but he misdirected people’s energy, with the result that we cared more about the Dem candidate than our own (lousy) one.

If you vote for Bernie, you inflate his number of voters, give him more power, and in fact inflate the number of Dem voters and give them more power (if you have re-registered as a Dem).

Let’s stick to supporting Trump. He may not have competition as a candidate, but this election is going to be hard as all get out. Go and volunteer to be a poll worker or a poll watcher for the GOP, and also work on distributing literature and signs.

Maybe instead of wearing a Che T-shirt they should wear one where he's executing young women.

“To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.”

If that disgusts her, then what in the world is she doing in the Democrat party?
