    The real damage done to "socialistic Cuba" is Capitalistic America's cruel embargo, not from socialism itself.

    Bernie's comment in FL is easily countered by him saying, as Obama did, that he will open up US businesses and tourists to visiting, investing in Cuba.

    btw, Cuban AirBnB hosts are pissed by that at ude of rich guests looking down their noses, taking up tons of time with questions, emails, bull .

    ===================

    As Airbnb grows in Cuba, locals suffer the emotional burden of en led tourists

    Unused to the fake smiles innate to the gig economy, Cubans bear the brunt of Airbnb's emotional labor

    I don't get it either. You'd think he'd run away from praising dictators rather than doubling down on he said in the 80s that probably won't do him any favors in a key swing state.
    The most important thing to Bernie is Bernie. If it comes down to beating Trump or smelling his own farts, he'll take Afrin over Florida.

    Hey, great idea.

    Maybe he should be saying that over and over and over today.

    Is he?

    he should always answer by deflecting to trump and how the media never gave a that trump never answered any question

    how will you pay for healthcare?
    trump : “hillary, obama, best health care on day 1”

    why does bernie have to play along?

    Because he's running for president against an in bent during a period of relative prosperity.

    Why act like he's above criticism?

    Yeah he’s definitely not going to win by constantly deflecting to Trump, that was a failed strategy before Trump was an in bent in a what’s considered by most as a good economy and it’ll fail even harder now.

    I don’t think it’s going to do a ton of damage but his comment about Castro was incredibly stupid, there’s no denying that.

    At that this point he shouldn’t backpedal but he needs to recongnize that any commentary from him that can be misconstrued as praising an authoritarian communist dictator will be.

    i guess maybe he should have condemned the authoritarian nature of cuba/castro before and after making his comment on their improved literacy

    What votes did he gain by making the improved literacy comment? I don’t disagree with him but he needs to think like a politician and avoid comments that are all downside with no upside.

    Those condemnations - like the one in the video - aren't really all that persuasive when he's being shown a clip from the 1980's praising Castro.

    he didnt make those comments unprompted. they specifically asked him about his comments from the 80's, and his response was, yeah, we condemn the autoritarian regime, but lets not act like things like improved literacy were also bad things. also fyi we condemn the authoritarian regime and im not going to cozy up to murdering dictators like trump has done with kim

    Just say we condemn the authoritarian regime with the dig about Trump and Kim Kong and leave it at that. In the eyes of Cuban voters he needs everything about Castro was bad and he’s not going to change their minds.

    why act like he is below trump?

    trump answered ZERO questions

    or lied...

    the media consistently gave him a pass- or shrugged and said “thats trump!”

    the media needed 3 years to call his lies - LIES

    to this day trumps gives two s about answering questions or being courteous, stately, honest


    and the media are just fine with that- but now are clutching their pearls because bernies answer was inadequate?


    Bernie should wise up right now and say -

    until you hold trump accountable- I only have to answer to my base- to my supporters

    This, but probably has to go a step further and say specifically what his policy towards Cuba is going to be, assuming it's going to be different from Trump's

    Could be.

    Elections aren't usually won or lost 9 months in advance.

    2016 should have taught us all to be wary of authoritative prognostication, but, coin of the realm, I guess. Everyone's an expert on the significance of fleeting comments for voters in other states and elections still months away.

    not at all

    bernie answers are pretty complete- he denounced authoritarianism but the media cut off that part of his answer-

    and basically highlighted the part where bernie credited castro for something positive that castro enacted


    so if the goal is just to set up bernie and/or attack him-

    I just dont think bernie should play along in his own demise especially after 2016.

    So yes - trump figured out a way to trump the system (pun intended) and bernie can also use it - since the media has proven to not actually be able to handle that tactic.

    Okay, Bernie is just naive and/or stupid and willingly walks into media traps.

    Reassuring.
