Nevada journalist Jon Ralston on MSNBC now talking about the Culinary Union apparently trying to [View all]

stop Bernie in Nevada.

But Ralston isn't sure if the union will endorse any of his rivals -- they didn't endorse n 2016 -- or whether the union will decide to support Biden or Buttigieg.


Editing to add what Ralston tweeted an hour ago:







On the evening he emerges with momentum from NH, Bernie is nuked in Nevada by Culinary with flyers in Spanish and English at union properties and direct communication to its 60,000 members via text and email.

A ratcheting up of the campaign targeting him. This is something.





Megan Messerly thread Ralston is tweeting about starts here:






NEW: In a new flyer, @Culinary226 warns members that @BernieSanders would "end" their much-loved union health care. The union has not announced whether it will endorse, but the flyer appears to be part of a coordinated campaign ahead of the caucus.




Just got confirmation from a Culinary Union spokeswoman that the flyer is also going out to members tonight via text and email.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
