1. I cannot speak for other states, but here in Florida, Debbie Wasserman-DINO only backs DINOs.

We can have all the local liberals we want, but Debbie decides who to back for national office, as far as I can tell. She threatened to disband the state Dem Progressive Caucus because they had the temerity to question Patrick Murphy, who was a Republican until 2011, and whose chief attraction seems to be that he is rich. He is adopting liberal talking points, but his sincerity has been questioned. In any even, Debbie and Patrick and Bill Nelson are all members of the DINO club, er, the New Democrat Coalition, which proudly wants to eschew that stupid old ideology and work closely with the GOP. As they have. So getting liberals any higher than Florida state is well nigh impossible while Debbie is in charge.
