Alex Sink Gaslighting

The perennial loser and Florida DINO said Democrats would have won the governorship had they nominated former Representative Gwen Graham, who narrowly lost to Mr. Gillum in the primary. “What would they have pinned on her?” asked Ms. Sink, alluding to Mr. Gillum’s left-wing politics and to an F.B.I. investigation into potential corruption in public real estate development in Tallahassee under Mr. Gillum.

Florida DINO Nikki Fried

 Endorsed by Alex Sink
---
Nikki Fried has long chosen to keep company with the rich and powerful over workers,” said Fred Frost, Florida campaign lead for the Communications Workers of America. 
---
Fried has donated more than $6,800 to Republican candidates in the last 14 years, the majority coming in the past 
three years.
---
At various points from 2012 to 2016, Fried was registered to lobby for HCA, the hospital chain formerly run by GOP Gov. Rick Scott that paid a $1.7 billion fine to settle Medicaid fraud allegations under his watch. more

Dana Young Going Full Throttle While Janet Cruz Uses Cloak of Invisibility

Cruz’ late entry into the race infuriated the progressive wing of the party as she essentially forced attorney Bob Buesing to quit the race. 
---
Self-styled kingmaker Alex Sink, corporatist and the state’s former Chief Financial Officer in what seems a lifetime ago, threatened Buesing with the denial of crucial endorsements and financial support if he contested Cruz in a primary. Sink’s power within the Democratic party is incomprehensible. 
---
On balance, the candidates she has supported have lost. Sink has shown an uncanny ability 
to fail.

Corporate Democrats Force Progressive Bob Buesing Out Of State Senate Race

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.

Florida DINOS Back Hillary over Bernie

Alex Sink and Other Conservative Florida Democrats Who Have Been Losing Statewide Races for Years Back Hillary over Bernie. here

Their leader had this to say:
"It's okay to be right, but it's more important to win. And if you don't win, you can't govern. When all is said and done — certainly in Florida — Hillary has a much, much better chance of prevailing than Sen. Sanders." Bob Buckhorn

The Florida Democratic Party Is Insane


Insanity:
doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Republicans will vote for anybody with an R at the end of their name 
We want someone fresh,
to get us off our ass and make  us want to go out and vote.
Let's try Jessica Ehrlich

Howard Dean Called It Right Years Ago

Right after the 2010 elections Democrats had absolutely nothing to lose at all by taking the liberal stances on issues that mattered to people and affected their lives.
Instead...all we got was preaching about more "bipartisanship", getting along with the other side, bite the other side, without the involvement and commitment of people at the ground level, you don't really have a party. Look what happen to Sink. Be proud to be a liberal You have no pool from which to draw future congresspeople, senators, and presidents.
And you have no genuine excitement...."He says "the truth is when you trade your values for the hope of winning, you end up losing and having no values--so you keep losing.
We have to reconnect to the base.......more>
 We have tried cautious, centrist, moderate, bipartisan. We have tried being careful not to take strong stands. We have gone along with right wing policies trying to please.
It hasn't worked very well.

Sad State Of Florida Dems


They had a great candidate
 Michael Hussey at Pushing Rope
created a Facebook group
looking to stop former state CFO Alex Sink from running
for statewide office in the future......more
Right now that sounds like a great idea and someone please do something about
Allison Tant and Debbie Wasserman Schultz
They are lost in the wilderness. If you want to win in November and the future
you need better tools.
Jessica Ehrlich for Congress

David Jolly: Incompetent Cradle Robber

Washington Republicans
Have described Jolly’s campaign as a Keystone Cops operation,
marked by inept fundraising,
top advisers stationed hundreds of miles away from the district in
The state capital
and the poor optics of a just-divorced, 41-year-old candidate
accompanied on the campaign trail by a girlfriend 14 years his junior.
 The sources would speak only on condition of anonymity.
