Dims Own Marxism! GOP tricked them into support it.

Democratic lawmakers Thursday successfully blocked a GOP resolution condemning Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders's laudatory comments about the Castro regime.

By a vote of 224-189 that fell along party lines, the House of Representatives on Thursday voted to block a resolution that not only condemned numerous human rights abuses that took place under the Castro regime, but also condemned recent instances where Sanders refused to fully denounce the late Fidel Castro's dictatorial rule over Cuba.

The resolution was introduced by GOP Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, who represents a district in the state that has 335,000 residents of Cuban descent — roughly half his entire constituency.

During a "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday, the Vermont senator said it was "unfair" to say everything about the Castro regime was negative, noting how Castro launched a "massive literacy program" upon assuming power. The following day, during a town hall event in South Carolina, Sanders stood by his remarks. During Tuesday night's presidential debate, he once again touted Cuba's progress on education.

Of course they do.... but don't those Cubans in Florida know that they can read?  So ungrateful.

He's going to bern down the party.

As soon as I read the title it's what I thought and was going to post. Made them go on the record.   Cubans in FL are not going to like it.  Bern's comment just cost him FL if he gets to the general election.

This should be real interesting, because they tout themselves as the party for everyone but white people. Who will show up at their rallies? Those they proclaim to hate?

Could these Marxists do a worse job of messaging, or what?

I don't have faith in the American people. I keep hearing how smart Americans are yet Sanders is the front runner. It's hard to believe that any true American would vote for communism but they do. People need to realize elections are not a game. Every election has an influence on the future of our country.

Don't judge America by the voters of a dead party.

Yes they are. If not for their media, no one would even pay attention to them.
Come mid summer the party spits.

I'll say it again, I truly hope you're right but I just don't see it.

Look at their candidates, this was due to the kneecapping TEA gave them in 2010 when we took over 1000 Legislative seats from them, that'show the fed the party with new blood.
Then, look at their constituency, 70% smaller than it was when they elected the Marxist.
They're on LSM life support at this point. Oh, and Trump has gutted their money machine globally, they're broke.
