Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: No, Bernie Sanders' Discussion of Cuba's Castro is Nothing Like Obama's [View all]Cha
(297,091 posts)6. I see too many repeating this..
BS was talking about what he thinks Castro's revolution brought to Cuba in 1959.
President Obama was talking about the post 2014 strides that Cuba had made as part of the negotiated
pre-conditions for normalizing US-Cuba relations. Cuba had to meet benchmarks during the gradual process of moving towards normalization.
President Obama made the remarks at a joint press conference in Cuba in March 2016.

Nope. Bernie is ahead in the polls. And the smears people try against him are nonsense.

Joe defended Barack Obama's honor. Biden, who rarely riles a crowd, was often greeted by cheers
