On "60 Minutes," Sanders said “it's unfair to simply say everything is bad" about Castro, and praised his literacy programs.
That might not go over well with Florida's sizable Cuban American and Latino communities, including many exiles from authoritarian leftist regimes.
With nearly one in five Florida voters of Hispanic origin, some political analysts say Sanders has work to do to mend some political fences.
