HA HA! Democrats have gotten themselves into a fine pickle. This is what happens when you cater to socialists.
Bernie Bros Furious (Again) At "Hostile" DNC Appointments After Sanders Soars Into Dem Lead
It's like deja vu all over again...
It would appear the Democratic Party elites are in full panic mode as despite all their (and their liberal media mates) efforts to bad-mouth Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Senator is soaring in the polls, overtaking 'sleepy' Joe both in surveys and at the bookies.
Today, The Hill reports that a new poll finds Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leading the field of Democratic contenders in California, where about 40 percent of all the convention delegates will be allocated on Super Tuesday.
Sanders also leads in Iowa...
And Sanders lead in New Hampshire...
And on the national level, is rapidly catching Biden...
And finally, where it really matters - putting your money where your mouth is - Bernie is exploding higher, surging past Biden to lead the Democratic Party nomination odds...

And it is not likely to slow down anytime soon, as the Sanders campaign announced Tuesday it would launch its first ads in Super Tuesday states, spending $2.5 million between California and Texas.
All of which is probably why - after failing with accusations of sexism and verbal attacks from Hilary and Obama - The DNC has stepped up to the plate (again) to disavow Democratic voters in America that they believe in any sort of democracy.
'Bernie Bros' are venting frustration at DNC Chairman Tom Perez over his initial appointments to the committees that will oversee the rules and party platform at the nominating convention in Milwaukee later this year.
Specifically, as The Hill reports, Sanders' allies are incensed by two names in particular:
Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who will co-chair the rules committee, and
Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman John Podesta, who will have a seat on that committee.
The Sanders campaign unsuccessfully sought to have Frank removed from the rules committee in 2016, describing him as an “aggressive attack surrogate for the Clinton campaign.”
And, as The Hill details, Podesta, a longtime Washington political consultant and Clinton confidant, is viewed with contempt by some on the left. One of Podesta’s hacked emails from 2016 showed him asking a Democratic strategist where to “stick the knife in” Sanders, who lost the nomination to Clinton that year after a divisive primary contest.
“The appointments also include individuals that are outright hostile to Bernie Sanders and his supporters," Yasmine Taeb, a DNC member from Virginia, exclaimed.
"It's not the message the DNC should be sending to the grassroots right now when we're all working aggressively to defeat the racist in the White House.”
..
“If the DNC believes it’s going to get away in 2020 with what it did in 2016, it has another thing coming,” Sanders' campaign co-chair Nina Turner blasted.
Even the neocons are panicking...

And he’s 79 to boot. In no way should the Democratic Party be putting the fate of the country in the hands of a very old, non-democrat who has accomplished little and has huge downside risk

The gentle treatment from Trump, "Bernie got robbed" etc. is in contrast to the set him on fire and put him out with golf cleats treatment he would get in the general. Nobody in Dem world is asking why Republicans are treating him like a hot house orchid.

If Bernie is too big to fail and runs as an Independent, he will lose but so will the Democratic candidate...then we'll have a King.

Moderate Republicans and Independents who Want too, or are Desperate to Find a Trump Alternative, would Hold Their Nose as They Voted for Trump if Bernie is the Option. Being a Socialist and a Proposed Medical Plan Much More Expensive than Warren's is a Non-Starter for Them...

These failed republican talking heads doing their most to prevent the inevitable is my favorite part of 2020.

I’m not. He’s nowhere near my first choice, but I will vote for the Democratic nominee for sure. Not voting will ensure the election of Trump again.
