The establishment Democrats are starting to worry now that Sanders is closing the gap and even beating Biden in some polls. They are not ok that Sanders may win the primary and face off against Trump. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews practically had a meltdown over the idea, talking about how the Democrat party is not healthy and claiming Bernie Sanders is not electable.
“What are my thoughts? I’m not happy. I’m not happy with this field. I think they have to find a candidate for president that can beat Trump,” Matthews said during a panel discussion Monday on “Morning Joe.”
“Bernie Sanders is not going to be president of the United States,” he said.
Mathews then compared the excitement around the Sanders campaign to that of 1972 Democratic nominee George McGovern, who lost in a landslide to President Nixon by a 520-17 margin in the Electoral College while only winning 35 percent of the popular vote.
“He highlighted Sanders’ past comments on communist and socialist leaders and complained that the senator openly calls himself a “socialist,” instead of referring to himself as a “democratic-socialist” like far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has, the host complained.
Matthews argued that former NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg will battle it out with Sanders for the nomination. Bloomberg, said the far-left host, will have to frame himself as the alternative to Sanders, who will surely lose the general election to President Donald Trump.”

“Journalist Rob Rousseau hit back on Twitter.
“Moronic cable tv millionaires like Chris Matthews truly believe nothing good can ever happen in America because of an election that happened 50 goddamn years ago,” said Rousseau. “Cry more, Chris, we love to see it.”
I don’t understand these Dems. Sanders has many polls showing he would stand a good chance against Trump, far better than his competitors, yet the establishment Dems would rather lose to Trump than give Sanders a chance? I guess let them eat their own but when they complain that they lost again, they should know guaranteed Trump’s win.
I guess Bernie doesnt give Matthews a thriii up hiis leg like Obama
Ya , that was pretty ” sick ” ,, even back then lol.
I would just as soon see them call themselvees what they really are lol. COMMUNISTS
Agreed Matthews just an old Commie same for Sanders who violates his oath of office
on a everyday like that bunch in white last night, when do they should be kicked out
that’s were we come from now on , at town halls VET the clowns running for office,no more,
he or she is a good guy , Ask Hard ??, take no Bovine Excrement. they are going to work for you, make sure that’s their mind set, so when they go to DC they still work for you , Dems have done nothing but hate for 3 years and the press Hate bought and payed for
America need to get a refund for $50,000,000 or so, Dems. wasted put back in to our tax fund make the DNC or the Squad, Adam . Pumkin head, Plousy the can make payments
to us, they have for the money of ours they have wasted because the can.
I still say Bernie will not get the nomination no matter how many delegates he gets. The ace in the hole is Bernie is not a member of the Democrat Party, he’s registered, elected as and sits in the Senate (collecting big bucks for himself) as an independent only caucusing with Democrats.
LOL…I think that’s the first smart thing I’ve ever heard come from chris matthews’ stupid mouth.
