“Mask Off”: Democratic Elites Prefer Trump to Sanders

Never Trump, Meet Never Sanders

Breitbart: It’s an article of faith inside the Bernie Sanders campaign that the Democratic establishment is going to do everything it can to stop the Vermonter from winning the Democratic nomination this year. This is what happened four years ago during the primary battle, when the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was helping Hillary Clinton win the nomination, even as it feigned neutrality in the contest.  

The Sanders people knew better, of course, and it’s since become well known that the DNC was doing everything it could to help Clinton. In fact, we might compare the Democratic establishment’s anti-Sanders campaign to a parallel effort across the aisle–namely, the Republican establishment’s anti-Donald Trump effort.  That GOP scheme against Trump four years ago was mostly invisible, albeit still real enough in the run-up to the Republican convention in Cleveland.  

Only later did a noisy few of the dissidents—many of them now Washington Post “Republicans”—organize themselves into the Never Trump movement that is so admired by the mainstream media.

This year, for Democrats, the intra-party antipathy toward Sanders is, if anything, even stronger than it was in 2016; it’s become, in effect, an Anybody But Bernie movement, or even an outright Never Sanders pledge. Yes, anti-Sanders sentiment inside the high pavilions of the Democratic Party is that fierce. On February 3, the Onion nailed it with a quip that the Democrats would go so far as to ask Trump as their nominee, as a way of stopping Sanders.  

Okay, that was the Onion’s joke, and yet in the serious world, the Democrats aren’t that desperate—at least not yet.  Still, in Democrat-friendly outlets such as MSNBC (oftentimes dubbed “MSDNC,”as a sign of its fealty to the party establishment, as distinct from the insurgent left), the anti-Sanders spirit is strong.  Keep reading

  1. Let’s just win this damned thing ourselves,okay? I don’t want to think about Chris Matthews getting a tingle up his leg for Trump.

    And this whole Bernie mess could seriously screw up the Dem vote fraud machine in November. It takes a lot of work by a lot of dedicated people to fake the vote. What if the unity, and more importantly, the money, is just not there this year?

  2. The Bernie problem is of the dems own making. His always been an (I) not a (D) and they should have told him to run third party in 2016. If they had he’s still just be that crazy commie from Vt. that yells at clouds.

  3. If the demoncrats didn’t really like Bernie, they could just call him what he is in the senate: Independent! Quit calling him a demoncrat socialist twits. He’s always been a commie, who plays in the demoncrat tent. So shut up about it.

    Sleep with snakes, someday they will kill you. It’s past time that all the snakes the demoncrats have allowed free reign, to bury that facade called the demoncrat party.

    Reminds me of that ‘Snake Orgy’ In FL story a few days ago: Just rope the area off and keep the public safe.

  4. Americans used to fight Commies and Nazis, but now have become Commies and Nazis.

    Americans scream that trade wars are good and then are stunned when prices rise and exports fall.

    Americans are so batshit insane now that they demand regulations and then are shocked when prices rise and the economy dies.

    When the regulations and trade wars kill the economy, Americans demand welfare and bailouts, but do not have the mental capacity to understand why taxes increase.

    Americans insist there must be wars, but then Americans are surprised that wars lead to debt, refugees, tyranny, and terrorism.

    Americans say Obama was an evil asshole for supporting wars, debt, and tyranny, but then turn around and say Trump is a holy god for embracing wars, debt, and the police state.

    Americans want everything to be illegal, but are dumbfounded that crime increases and prisons become overcrowded.

  5. The Democrats have a battle within their own candidate ranks of Communist vs Socialist vs Fascist vs Marxist vs Dictator vs Totalitarian. With any luck they will bloody each other out of the race.
