Debbie Wasserman Schultz breaks with Obama on Cuba
Florida Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz thinks President Barack Obama should slow down with Cuba before continuing to reopen relations between the two countries.

** How about how the environment in Florida is connected to the sugar barons?
As of the March 31 FEC reporting deadline Debbie Wasserman Schultz had already spent $1,300,451 to retain her south Florida congressional seat. Ensconced in a deep blue district whose original very gerrymandered boundaries she drew herself when she was in the state Senate, she's never had an electoral challenge and doesn't know how to run a modern campaign. She's ruled out debating her progressive primary opponent and her version of campaigning is to smear her opponent and to amass a huge war-chest by selling access to special interests. As you can see, her biggest single donor for this cycle is the Fanjul Corp. The Fanjul family and their companies have been major contributors of hers in every single election since she first ran for Congress 16 years ago. They and their companies have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into her political career and in return she has worked hard to keep the price of sugar artificially high.
