NYT - The Democrats are already plotting against Bernie

This is going to get interesting.

How, some Democrats are beginning to ask, do they thwart a 70-something candidate from outside the party structure who is immune to intimidation or incentive and wields support from an unwavering base, without simply reinforcing his “the establishment is out to get me”’ message — the same grievance Mr. Trump used to great effect?
quote:
That prospect is spooking establishment-aligned Democrats, some of whom are worried that his nomination could lure a third-party centrist into the field. And it is also creating tensions about what, if anything, should be done to halt Mr. Sanders.
quote:
The matter of What To Do About Bernie and the larger imperative of party unity has, for example, hovered over a series of previously undisclosed Democratic dinners in New York and Washington organized by the longtime party financier Bernard Schwartz. The gatherings have included scores from the moderate or center-left wing of the party, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California; Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader; former Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia; Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., himself a presidential candidate; and the president of the Center for American Progress, Neera Tanden.

I mean they’ve been doing that since 2015 
I hope he wins the nomination because Trump would beat him easily

Their only hope of stopping Bernie is Backdoor Pete or to Clintonicide him.

I’ll allow it. Everyone should openly plot against socialist and communist.

Come on dems
You know that you have to if you want to beat the Trump in 2020.
The riots at the democratic convention if Bernie is not the nominee will be glorious to watch. The Milwaukee police better start practicing their riot control techniques ASAP.

The fact that these are now the moderate-centrist Democrats tells us all we need to know about the party.

There is nothing moderate or centrist about anybody mentioned in this clip.

The irony in all this Bernie-Democrat dust up - the sumbitch isn't even a pronounced democrat yet they are letting him on their ticket to run as one. I find that most hilarious.

There weren't riots when Bernie was screwed over by HRC for the nom so what would be the difference really? Prog filth outnumber faux-socialist students.

Right now the most positive spin by the media is for Mayor Pete. They really like him. It's logical. We already had a black Prez. We gave a woman Prez and try. Now, it's time to shoot for a gay Prez.

The Dems are really screwed at this point. The Bernie fans are not about to forget what happened with Hilldawg, and they hate the Dem party leaders as much as the Trump fans hate the Rinos. There is no way the party doesnt fracture in the next year and a half with the economy going well, and Russia boomeranging back on the Dems.

Of course. This is why they wanted Bernie as a dem to begin with. So they can manipulate the field to get their outcome.
If Bernie is Independent, the DNC has zero control over him.
