Yeah, the corporate wing of American politics is sweating his campaign, and reacting poorly. That they have to react, and have no plan or innate ability to counter a Progressive insurgency, is forcing them into a bad negative feedback loop.

Expect more attacks on Sanders from supposed Democrats for talking up our party's traditional, core, beliefs and policies. Then watch them huddle to talk over why they are hemorrhaging support from Democratic voters.
