Senator Bernie Sanders told CNN on Saturday that he supports Debbie Wasserman-Schultzs opponent in the June 30th Democratic primary, and that if he is elected president, he would ensure that her leadership of the DNC was ended.
The Sanders campaigns feud with the chairwoman of the DNC has grown increasingly bitter over the last few months. He told CNNs State of the Union that he supports Wasserman-Schultzs primary opponent Tim Canova for Floridas 23rd congressional district. Not surprisingly, Canova is a Sanders supporter.
When asked about the race, Sanders told State of the Union host Jake Tapper:
Well, clearly, I favor [Wasserman-Schultzs] opponent. His views are much closer to mine than as to Wasserman-Schultz.
Sanders continued on to say that if he is elected president, he would not reappoint Wasserman-Schultz to head the DNC. Wasserman-Schultz, however, has decided to take the diplomatic route and declared that she would not choose sides.

(2,897 posts)Her district when 68-31 for Clinton. She should make Sanders the kiss of death to Canova. I also hope Obama/Biden will get involved in this race like they did the Sestak/McGinty race.

(38 posts)I hope he gets primaried next time he runs for the Senate. Oh yeah, I forget he won't be primaried because HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT. Remind me to send money to whoever the Dem candidate is.

Actually putting up money to get Democrats elected is against Bernie's principles. He only uses money for one candidate, and one candidate only - himself. Canova should be happy that Bernie even deigned to endorse him, since he usually doesn't.

(12,448 posts)who you support and don't support? You're about to become irrelevant, a footnote in history.
But first, you'll be a pariah in the Democratic party you keep trying to trash. I'm not talking about DWS; I'm talking about the party.
