Lion Heart 15,041 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz decisively defeated challenger Tim Canova in Tuesday's Democratic congressional primary, a victory she called "incredibly sweet and satisfying." "Thank you for your love and your support and your friendship and your knocking on doors, making phone calls, practically living in our campaign headquarters," Wasserman Schultz told supporters who gathered for her election night party at Sunrise Commissioner Joey Scuotto's pizza restaurant in Sunrise. Serving in Congress is "the greatest professional privilege of my life, the chance to be our community's voice, the chance to stand up for the principles and values that our community stands for." Wasserman Schultz is virtually guaranteed a seventh term representing Broward and Miami-Dade counties in Congress. .. Shortly before midnight Tuesday, Canova told reporters that "I'll concede that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a corporate stooge." http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/fl-august-primary-us-house-20160830-story.html ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion Heart 15,041 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Canova also struggled to dispel her criticism of him that he has only lived in the district for a few years and doesn’t really know the community. At one point in the debate, DeFede asked Canova: “Do you know who the mayor of Southwest Ranches is?” “I’m not going to play that game,” Canova said. “No, I do not. And I’m not going to play that game.” “It’s Jeff Nelson by the way,” Wasserman Schultz chimed in. "Very good, thank you very much,” Canova said, annoyed. “He’s also the assistant principal at Cypress Bay High School,” she added with a smile. Time and again Canova missed opportunities to press his case against Wasserman Schultz. Given the fairly easy question on how he would attempt to pass a $15 an hour federal minimum wage, Canova spoke briefly about building a coalition with labor and then seemed stymied, before finally turning to DeFede, the moderator, and asking: "You tell me how do we get to $15 an hour minimum wage?” Without missing a beat, Wasserman Schultz jumped in: “I’d be happy to tell you.” ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born To Slay 10,996 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I guess her district is okay with cheating, it's a sad day in America when such a fake corrupt person is electing to public office. Oh well, plenty of Bernies other endorsed candidates have won, so we can still have a more liberal congress. Just a shame this woman will be in the house. The house is too good for her (then again it's Paul Ryan's house so maybe not but still. She has no decency.). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or because people are too dumb and scared to have new leadership? You're so blinded by Hillary's support of her that you can't accept that Debbie was unprofessional & corrupt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are adults who are voting in the best interest of their district and they voted for the person who has a long history of representing her area in a way that continues to get the respect and support of her constituents.
