Biden is tougher than Bernie on Maduro. This could help Biden in Florida

Bernie Sanders will have to explain to Florida Venezuelans and Cubans why he has decried US intervention against Maduro.

Biden is more pro-Guaido.

I happen to side with Bernie's position on Maduro but I'm a New Yorker who didn't come from Venezuela and who doesn't hate socialism.

I have a favorable view of Bernie's kind of socialism. But again I'm not a Venezuelan or Cuban.

Bernie would also struggle to explain that he's not a socialist socialist but only a "Democratic socialist".

Joe Biden (if he runs) would in my opinion outperform Sanders in Florida against Trump.
