1. Strong picks for co-chairs.

5. I really think so.

2. Turner is controversial, the other three just seem like very strong choices

Love Carmen Yulin Cruz, and was impressed by Rep. Khanna when I just went and read up on him. And Ben Cohen, yup, capitalism at it's very best (and most tasty). Noted in way of passing: Sanders was pretty inclusive of diversity in making these picks.

3. Yulin Cruz is great, she will do a good job!

6. Many of her constituents down in San Juan aren't very happy with her.

Lots of time traveling, doing media tours, little time working for the citizens of San Juan.

I am from there and my family still lives there, so I know.

7. Oh dear. Well she was quite a hit here and probably will be again in PR.

Any links would be appreciated. I can’t find anything to back up your post but love being educated.

8. If you understand Spanish, I will share.

Don't get me wrong, the Mayor did a marvelous job speaking out for PR during the Hurricane crisis. However, her job in San Juan has not been stellar. Sad to say, because people do like her down there as a person.

4. Turner is controversial but not as much as some

people want to believe. I think she reaches a good segment of people who think favorably on her. Especially as she was such a strong fighter in WI against Walker.

Ro Khanna is fabulous. Very committed to climate and other progressive platforms and great when interviewed.

Cruz is dynamite and was so loved by many for her strong repudiation of Trump.

Cohen has the business background and has spent many years fighting to get money out of politics.
