Really important story here from @alexburnsNYT and @melbournecoal especially relevant to South Florida politics (short thread) nytimes.com/2019/05/17/us/…
When Democrats from elsewhere in the country ask me about 2020, I mention that a number of voters here who might want to vote for a Dem worry about the party's leftward shift. Many of them say they are Never Sanders people who would rather vote for Trump -- or not at all.
This tends to surprise Democrats from elsewhere. But the fear of "socialism" is real here. See the effective 2018 strategy deployed by (now Governor) Ron DeSantis. Dems ignored the attack as ridiculous. Voters seemed to think otherwise. nytimes.com/2018/09/10/us/…
Also, Sanders was none too eager to face Cuba questions the only time he held a rally *in Miami* in 2016. This, folks, is standard policy fare for presidential candidates here. Gotta have answers at the ready. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
