Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., added more national support to progressive challenger Jessica Cisneros as she runs to unseat Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, a man she has described as "Trump's favorite Democrat."

Cisneros is one of nine endorsements that Sanders announced on Wednesday. The others included "squad" Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

“This is the most important election in our lifetime and I’m proud there are so many candidates running for Congress who understand that real change comes from the bottom on up, not the top on down,” Sanders said, according to The Hill.

"They’re all strong advocates for real change, and together we will build a movement to transform this nation so that it works for all our people," he added.

"The people of South Texas deserve a Democrat like Jessica who is going to fight for real people, not big corporate donors like the Koch Brothers, GEO Group and Exxon," Ocasio-Cortez said. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Pressley have also endorsed Cisneros.

No middle ground for these socialists. When they want you gone, you get the big boot.

I’m sure Omar and AOC will go in either direction to get ahead.

Is Jessica related to Henry Cisneros, HUD secretary of the Clinton administration, convicted of some financial shenanigans and later pardoned?

I guess The Snatch Squad has a new member. Some crazy old Shylock, teat sucking fedgov lifer. I love how the fake news state media ABSOLUTELY NEVER mentions the possibility that since Sanders is older than dirt, (and a freaking Red Communist) he might succumb to the strain of his official duties and give us (the real) governor of Georgia, who would likely be VP at the time, Stacey Abrams as president of the United States.

I’d say the democrats have only cannon fodder to feed the general election in 2020.

BEST ELECTION EVER v2.0

““This is the most important election in our lifetime “ ... said every Democrat in every election since 1980

Wouldn’t supporting Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. amount to extreme anti-semitism?
