Even local Establishment Dems are scared of Bernie.

I was listening to the local Fargo news/talk station KFGO to hear the latest about the shooting of a police officer that happened here a couple days ago and the subject turned to politics and the host, Joel Heitkamp, brother of Senator Heidi Heitkamp, started a sickening tirade worthy of Joe McCarthy about how horrible Sanders is because he, good heavens, HATES CAPITALISM OMG!!!! Such a nauseating rant.

matter of fact. Diane Rehm (NPR) had a panel on, "discussing" issues relating to the dem primaries and they were clearly biased, repeating Clintonesque slurs. Some woman from Kalamazoo called in to call them on it, saying it sounded like they were part of Hilary's campaign (shout out to her!!) at the same time I was emailing the show about the same thing. I hope a lot more people wrote in, that was BS.
