Sanders' comments leave out crucial parts of Cuba's history, Cuban Americans, scholars say
Carmen Peláez, a Cuban American playwright, filmmaker and active Democrat, said she was “gobsmacked” when she heard presidential candidate Bernie Sanders praise Cuba’s education and health care system during a"60 Minutes" interview Sunday night. “I was amazed he was arrogant enough to equivocate on behalf of a Communist revolution, considering he needs Florida to win,” said Peláez, whose parents fled Cuba in the 1960s. “Today, I know I can’t vote for Sanders."
Sanders’ comments on Cuba have created uproar and outrage in Florida, one of the most important battleground states in the country. Many Cubans in the United States say Sanders’ portrayal of 1960s Cuba does not paint the entire picture of what was really unfolding in the country at the time. During the"60 Minutes" interview, Sanders defended comments he made in 1985 saying Cubans did not join the U.S. in overthrowing Castro during the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion because he educated kids, gave them health care, and “totally transformed society.” At a CNN town hall Monday night, Sanders was asked if he wanted to respond to the criticism, but he doubled down on his previous comments.
Come on South Carolina vote for the candidate with the best record and best experience in office. Joe Biden has it and will hire the best people to help him run our country. He will listen, he will read and research each issue.

This Debate is totally out of control. They need to quit fighting each other Elizabeth and Bernie and tell us what you’re going to do for us. I’m tired of the accusations back and forth. I don’t care who has the most money... what are you going to do for us.
7 reasons why Trump wins by a landslide.
This is good stuff!
Thank god. I can’t take any more of these debates. Sanders says the same thing each time and avoids talking about $$ needed for healthcare. Each person keeps repeating him/herself except for Amy K.
Oh i thought this was the biggest loser! My bad!
Travesty. A bunch of vultures tearing each other apart. Fightening each other like a bunch of at odds kids.
It has begun the DFL'S royal Rumble. Wait no punches until you raise your hand and shake it, Or you eat the other persons arm off'
