Josh Marshall on Sanders' divisive tweet about the "Democratic establishment" last night [View all]

Link to tweet

Reaffirms that when Sanders talks about “the Democratic establishment”, something that barely exists, he really means Democrats. Also anticipates my great fear which is that a Sanders General election campaign will be 1/2 against Trump and 1/2 against the Democratic Party.

You've almost certainly seen that Sanders tweet by now, since it's the subject of several OPs here. But just in case...

I've got news for the Republican establishment. I've got news for the Democratic establishment. They can't stop us.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
