How the Democrats handled Iowa.
The panic of leading talkers at Democratic media at the prospect of Bernie being the nominee.
The shrill insistence that he can't win disguising the desire to keep him and his agenda (not really socialist but really progressive) out of the White House, or anyway from gaining more traction in the Democratic Party.
Some You Tube commentators flatly characterize this as class war within the Democratic Party, with neolibs of the Clintonista variety, old and new, old and young, denouncing Bernie and his supporters as an ideological cult, a cult of personality, a cult of purity, loony lefties far more committed to taking over a party they despise than actually driving out Trump.
His Democratic enemies pretend pushing Bernie aside is all about beating Trump.
But are they just using the necessity of beating Trump as a smokescreen for class war?
Well, yes, of course there's that.
But for some of them, anyway, both concerns could be real.
Did Mayor Pete lie to kill a poll that would have embarrassed him?
Did he demand a recount to deny Bernie a clear win?
MSNBC more and more open to such skepticism about Bernie.
