Alex Sink, the corporatist Democrat who set a modern record for political futility, was a key figure in marginalizing progressive Florida Senate candidate Bob Buesing, forcing him out of a very winnable race.
-----
Sink, Bank of America’s former president for operations in Florida, favored fellow corporatist Cruz, a late entrant, over Buesing as did Florida Democratic Party chairman Terrie Rizzo, and Hillsborough State Committeewoman Alma Gonzalez, all supremely divisive figures within the Democratic party.
-----
Buesing was threatened with the denial of crucial endorsements and financial support if he contested late entrant Cruz in a primary.
-----
Like Rizzo and Gonzalez, Sink is out of step with modern Democratic thinking.
-----
Sink. Rizzo. Gonzalez. Those are the influential leaders with archaic thinking that are torpedoing Democratic hopes in the country’s most populous swing state.
-----
Progressives are furious at Sink and her cronies, with many promising to withhold their votes from Janet Cruz.
-----
For Alex Sink, pleasing Republicans takes priority over promoting Democrats as a party of inclusion. One month ago she proudly served on the honorary host committee for the election of Republican Sheriff Chad Chronister.

WOW!! Besides Tim Canova, this media and a few others where are all the progressive leaders voices on this? SPEAK UP!!!!
Just Rizzo, Gonzalez and Sink? Mr. Bleyer forgot a few others. Right here in Hillsborough County.
This is happening all over the country. And you wonder why DEMOCRATS LOOSE? They both work for the same man.
THEY ARE ALL IN BED TOGETHER
I'll be voting "None of the above"
