As the first South American immigrant member of Congress who proudly represents thousands of Cuban Americans, I find Senator Bernie Sanders’ comments on Castro’s Cuba absolutely unacceptable.

The freshman Democrats aren't, they know Bernie dislikes them and they will run from him if he is the Democratic nominee.

A President saying this for DIPLOMATIC purposes while on a VISIT TO CUBA is the same thing as a candidate for President praising it in an interview in your mind?

Unfortunately, they will have to DENOUNCE Sanders to keep a fighting chance in Nov. and that is why things will get messy
