CNN Projection: Rubio, Wasserman Schultz win Florida primaries

Not really no? Debbie was an incompetent DNC chair. But Canova is worse.
But sure, keep building strawmen then start crying about other people doing the same.

Really? Where has he been since the DNC?
It is pretty clear to see you're still not over Bernie's loss and would of accepted anyone the Sanders camp installed against Wasserman.
If she was projected to lose, your post probably would of been:
:/
His endorsement wasn't enough for you?
Isn't he going to start campaigning for her next month? Will that be enough for you?

You really think Bernie is going to run again? Or maybe some other liberal candidate?
I highly doubt Clinton gets any significant primary challenge next election unless certain peoples' worst suspicions are confirmed and she cuts Social Security or starts a ground war or something. If it's essentially a third Obama term, good luck with that.
It was hardly a tremendous amount of money (maybe tremendous relative to an obscure House challenger, but not a race-altering amount) and Canova ran through it pretty quickly.
How often did Bernie actually campaign with Canova?
I don't think that's a sure thing. Rubio is six points ahead of Murphy and outperforming Trump in the polls.

She was very publicly fired and exposed and still won her primary by double digits. Despite her opponent having a nice influx of cash
Anyone who was actually a decent candidate should have been able to win that primary.
he changed his mind on that a couple months ago.

I suspect that gap will close pretty quick - until the wife-beating stuff came out about Grayson most Dem groups were trying to remain neutral, but now that a nominee's in place they can focus on the general. Rubio has near universal recognition from the presidential run and will be pretty easy to tear down in the general, dude is like the worst senator in the country. He even said he wasn't sure if he'd serve out a full term - open mouth, insert foot.

Nope. Only himself. No need to call him a jackass tho..
I never said that.

"I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Hillary becomes the President" amounts to an endorsement that every fucking primary challenger gives after they lost?

If an endorsement of Canova qualifies as Bernie actively helping, then by Mr. RPG's logic, yes. This also means that Trump really helped Paul Ryan.
At least when it comes to being wrong, Mr. RPG is nothing if not consistent.

Looking forward to it since we definitely won't be seeing bernout.

He was, but the party leadership begged him to reconsider when they became worried a Democrat would win his Senate seat.

I knew the moment Bernie left that his "revolution" would go with him. Instead of actually following up on his promise to support likeminded downticket candidates, he took his ball and went home.
But anyone who was paying attention shouldn't be surprised. Poor Canova, though.

A senate seat is also a much better launchpad for a 2020 campaign than just being part of some law firm.
This guy wound up being a pretty big dipshit. Debate performance in particular was a disaster for him. Not surprised he is tight still.

There is an aspect of HillaryGAF that is tremendously unpleasant to talk to.

Someone could have told Jeb.
I preferred the hopeless version of Rubio that was going to stay out of politics the rest of his life.

Or (and bear with me here) Canova was a bad candidate regardless of who endorsed him.
It's pretty clear that Sanders endorsed Canova primarily because Canova was running against DWS rather than out of any particular fondness for the man himself. It was sort of an "enemy of my enemy" thing.
The problem is that sometimes the "enemy of my enemy" is just a jackass who parrots GOP talking points about the Iran deal.
See:
But seriously; isn't DWS sort of political poison at this point?
edit: oh, so they aren't competing against each other?

DWS wasn't a great DNC Chair, but she's well liked in her district. She deserved to hold onto her seat. Good for her. Canova was terrible, knew nothing about the people in the district, and was hitching his pony to the Bernie train something fierce.
Sad!

What helps win elections is knowing the people you wish to serve and the challenges they face. They need to know who in the community are the shakers and movers.
Tim Canova did none of this. Just because Bernie endorsed him does not mean he was right for the job.

I dunno why you think Debbie was popular on GAF.

not particularly fond of her as DNC head but she didn't deserve to lose her seat

Does anyone have any actual reasons for hating Debbie other than parroting a garbage Politico hitpiece filled with anonymous quotes and speculation?
I am the only one on any part of GAF that loves Debbie. Debbie is my bae. Even HillaryGAF was cheering when she resigned as chair.
I don't see how you can think Grayson would have been better than Murphy.
From the quick info I could find, Grayson is more liberal than the moderate-leaning Murphy, which is what got me interested in him. I also didn't have the internet resources, unlike now, to investigate in-depth on Murphey and Grayson. Reading up on both now, I may have voted Murphey, reluctantly, with a do-over.
At the end, my supervisor of elections board wasn't able to receive my fax ballot, and I couldn't email a ballot to my friend, to mail it locally in time, thus my preference didn't play any role this time around. At least I can make sure this doesn't happen again in November.
