    Default Democrats turn on Bernie: 'He is not going to be the nominee'

    Democrats turn on Bernie: 'He is not going to be the nominee'

    Florida Democrats are calling on Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to backtrack his comments after refusing to acknowledge opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate president.

    “There are serious questions about the recent election. There are many people who feel it was a fraudulent election,” Sanders, a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, said Tuesday in an interview with Univision.

    Many Florida Democrats were outraged by this response, Politico reported Thursday.

    Democratic Florida Rep. Donna Shalala, who represents Venezuelan exiles, told Politico: “He is not going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. He has demonstrated again that he does not understand this situation.”

    This isn’t the first time Sanders has backed left-wing or socialist leaders.

    He called Nicaragua’s leftist leader, Daniel Ortega, “an impressive guy,” in a 1985 interview. Sanders has also repeatedly praised Fidel Castro, the late Cuban communist dictator.

    Sanders’ response puts him at odds with President Donald Trump, as well as a growing share of the international community, who recognizes Guaido as Venezuela’s president and has not ruled out military intervention in the country.

    It also alienates Sanders among 2020 Democratic presidential candidates who have commented on the issue. This list includes Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who each recently denounced Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and backed Guaido.

    Florida, which houses more Venezuelan immigrants than any other state, is a perennial swing-state. Shalala is joined by many state Democratic leaders, like Miami state Sen. Annette Taddeo and others, who fear a candidate’s stance on this issue could persuade enough Venezuelans to jump ship and support Trump.

    The divide among Democratic presidential candidates signals the broader internal civil war between progressives and moderates over the party’s identity.

    The final result may prove pivotal in deciding the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

    Well... he might the dem nominee regardless of their claims... unless they muscle him out again by corrupt means. Wonder he'd lay down and take it twice?

    Let's ask Pete who he's backing?

    Why not run Bernie? He's the perfect throw-away. Oh yeah. The left is going to win in 20 no matter who they have to kill or how much they have to cheat to do it. They want one of their darling "payback" f*cks.

    Me? I'd run Bernie and be grooming someone legitimate who could win honestly in 24. If I was running the Republican Party, I'd also be grooming someone post-Trump. Already. Right now. The GOP hasn't had a clue on how to groom someone up to the position since Reagan. Sure would be nice if they'd get a plan for once.

    But what about Bernie’s “rape fantasy” article, in this #metoo age? Saying women like to fantasize about gang rape seems like it should be a deal-breaker.

    I thought the Dems made a new rule that their nominee has to be a Democrat, specifically because of Bernie. I think he may have to change to Democrat before he can get their nomination, or maybe even before he can be in a debate.

    You can count on Harris hammering him with it. He will have to defend his position. This primary season is going to be a bloodbath

    Bernie Sanders... the socialist who owns 3 homes and makes 1 million a year... i also heard Dan Bongino making the claim that his travel expenses are through the roof

    Typical Socialist who preaches living modestly to the rest of us and lives in Millionaire Style

    You know? Too bad Robin Leech isn’t still around to do Lives of the Rich and Famous


    But with a twist.... he could just cover clowns like Bernie, AOC, Kim Jong Un, Nick Maduro, and the Castros

    You never see a poor Socialist leader

    He should shut his senile mouth and serve his constituents. He has not got
    the skill and ability to lead a nation..
