[Landslide Lyndon]

Bernie said Maduro is a bad person.

Damn!!! Those are some fighting words.

He had strongly condemned Maduro.

Why are people angry? This is what the guy is. This is what he always was. This is why people are voting for him. Beat him, don't expect him to change his mind.

Sanders has plenty of liabilities and this is just one of them.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

LOL who cares what the lady who did worse then GILLUM in a district Clinton won by 20 points, thinks? Sanders is clearly not a jimmy dore bot Maduro lover lol. David Richardson FTW

Who cares? No one's winning FL anyway, even NELSON lost. and the suburban Romney-Clinton voters are educated enough to know that having a democratic socialist is preferable to a nationalist loon like Trump

[Progressive Pessimist]

This indeed doesn't matter because no Democrat is winning Florida, especially not Sanders. But to act like Shalala is such a horrible person for wanting to secure her re-election makes me worry that Sanders, should he become the nominee, could end up being a drag on downballot candidates. I don't see him and his potentially weak coattails gaining a much needed Democratic Senate majority.

If Shalala can't win an Obama/Clinton/Nelson/Gillum seat, that's entirely her fault.

He isn't winning the primary anyway, so arguing about his liabilities is truly a moot point.

Maybe so, but...and I just can't resist mentioning it at this point, this is Florida we are talking about here.

It also voted for Patrick Murphy in 2016 against Rubio.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Nice try by the bros to derail the thread by focusing on Shalala's electability instead of what she actually said.

Bernie standing up to US imperialism and oil industry. Fantastic.

Juan Guaido would never allow any concessions to the oil industry to go through. He has integrity.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

No wonder Florida dems lose elections.

[GoTfan]

Is this the same state party that had, for the first time in decades, a chance at winning the governor's mansion there, and then promptly lost it?

You must be thinking of some other state party. The Florida Democratic are masters of losing, having narrowly lost the last 3 governor races, as well as 2018 Senate, 2016 President, and 2000 President.

So how do they speak with any authority on saying who can win Florida?

[Horus]

The worst of the Dems are mad at Bernie, color me shocked.

inb4 someone changes their display name to something dumb like "Obama/Clinton/Nelson/Gillum voter against Shalala"

[Donerail]

yes, this is a minor liability. no, it probably won't matter in a year and a half. that's really all we need to say here

If the Democrats hold the House anyway then I don't care if Shalala loses. She's a truly disgusting and vile person, just as awful as Trump. I'd be perfectly fine with a Democratic House not tainted by that f[inks]ing monster in the caucus especially as we'd win the seat back with someone possibly decent right away anyway.

Venezuela won't go away, it can be one of the major themes of the campaign.

[mgop]

shalalala can't be more irrelevant figure

[DrScholl]

If I recall most on Atlas kept saying Shalala was "blowing it" (another stupid term that needs to be retired) and would lose the seat. It didn't happen. But that aside, this is a real issue in South Florida and it's not unreasonable for Democrats there to want to get in front of it.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

It must shock many people on here that you can both oppose dictators, and oppose regime change.
