As the results of the Democratic New Hampshire primary rolled in Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, NBC claimed that the supposed “moderate lane” of the liberal field was getting “a little wider,” while wondering how voters could “coalesce” around alleged “centrist” candidates and prevent socialist Senator Bernie Sanders from getting the Democratic nomination.
During a brief prime time special report Tuesday night on the election results, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd observed: “And the combined total of [Pete] Buttigieg and [Amy] Klobuchar tells you that Bernie Sanders, while winning here, has got a long way to go to build a coalition to win this nomination.” Nightly News anchor Lester Holt concluded: “The moderate lane appears a little wider tonight.”
Moments earlier, Todd laughably attempted to cite evidence of Senator Klobuchar’s moderation: “Among those we asked, ‘Do you want the next president to return to Barack Obama’s policies or change to more liberal policies?,’ Amy Kobuchar won essentially the Barack Obama vote....she won the, ‘Let’s go back to the Obama policies.’” As if Barack Obama was somehow a “moderate” Democrat.
The “moderate” Klobuchar actually wants to radically expand abortion and has expressed interest in packing the Supreme Court with left-wing judges.
On Wednesday’s Today show, co-host Savannah Guthrie fretted to political analyst and former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill: “Claire, I think it’s fair to say you’re – you represent the centrist left. So assuming that’s the case, what does your lane of the party do here?” The anchor continued: “How do you decide, ‘Okay, we need one standard-bearer here or it’s going to be Bernie Sanders’?”

The last “moderate” dem died a decade ago.

What’s a centrist Rat? No such thing.
It’s strange what happens when a party runs 8 candidates who are all basically alike, and one who is different.
MSM ELECTION ENGINEERING IN FULL DISPLAY.
Joke’s on them.
There ARE NO “centrist” Dems anymore.
Democrat establishment hates Bernie.
There are none....................
Bernie perfectly represents today’s Democrats. The Democrats allowed it and now must admit it. Democrats are radical socialists who hate America, it’s that simple
Noxzema can help. You know, with Berns.
There are no centrist Dem candidates.
Just better liars.
So, you thinkin’ the russkies are in control of the lame stream? :-)
Go ahead morons. Screw him over and kill the down ballot when his supporters stay home.
Hey MSM:
This is the monster that you created.
There are no Centrist Democrats, no Conservative Democrats, it’s nothing but a Far Left Socialist/Communist Party.
Perhaps they’re two stoopid to see that. Or they have optical rectumitis.
“optical rectumitis”
A form of tunnel vision. Everything looks like the middle, because they can’t see anything else.
Now all they need are four volunteers to drop out...
There are no “moderate” Rats running. They’re all deranged extremist leftist Trump haters. They all think the U.S. is a racist corrupt country, they hate Trump and all Trump supporters.
But let F Chuck Todd delude himself into thinking there are moderate Rats running for POTUS.
Or cranial rectal insertion ops.
