Prominent Florida Democrats agree Hillary Clinton is stronger candidate than Bernie Sanders

[ProudToBeLiberal]

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn has a message for Democratic voters in Iowa and New Hampshire.

“It’s okay to be right, but it’s more important to win. And if you don’t win, you can’t govern,” Buckhorn said when asked about the excitement Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is generating in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. “When all is said and done — certainly in Florida — Hillary has a much, much better chance of prevailing than Sen. Sanders.”

The electoral math is simple: If Democrats win Florida’s 29 electoral votes in November, they win the White House. Florida’s most prominent Democrats overwhelmingly say Hillary Clinton stands a much better chance of carrying Florida than Sanders.

Like it or not, a self-described democratic socialist like Sanders is simply not a strong Florida candidate, said former chief financial officer Alex Sink.

7. For a self described Bernie supporter

Hmmm...

8. I said I support Bernie as a human being. You can ask Autumn what happened. Nt

9. So is there someone you wouldn't support "as a human being"?

That's a pretty lame statement and says absolutely nothing. To say you don't support someone "as a human being" would be pretty disturbing.

10. As Hillary said, we need more love and kindness in this world. I am trying to be more loving. Nt

[MissDeeds]

11. And there we are again...

14. Interesting tidbit

Bill Nelson’s not going to go for a socialist Democrat. I’m not going for a socialist Democrat.

Sounds like she's saying that her and Nelson would not support Sanders if he's the nominee.


Sink is a multiple time loser. Lost for governor. Lost her race for Congress. Forgive me for not caring about Alex Sink's opinions on electoral strategy.
