Establishment Democrats are panicking about the rise of democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and the slide of former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 race, Fox News contributor Guy Benson said Thursday.
Earlier in the day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was asked to weigh in on the state of the party following Sanders' New Hampshire primary victory and insisted that party leaders are "calm, cool and collected," adding that when members disagree about the best candidates, "thats politics. Its a messy business.
"Calm, cool and collected so much so that she is ripping up pages of the State of the Union address?" Benson asked Thursday on "The Story"
"Look, I think that if she had her way, she would absolutely want to help nudge voters away from Bernie Sanders," he added.
**SNIP**
"I think Pelosi is looking at this situation and saying, 'Maybe its not useful for me to weigh in on this,"' Benson told substitute host Ed Henry. "'Let people decide what theyre going to do. Dont put my thumb on the scale' ... but some of her members, some of those moderate members who are majority makers, they are blabbing to reporters all over this town saying, 'We cannot have Bernie at the top of the ticket or I am totally cooked.'"

Trump was acquitted of “Pepto charges” Penlosi regurgitated after too much rich food charged to taxpayers at pricey Swamp restaurants.
Republicans rallied around Trump in unprecedented fashion. Raising tons of money w/one sentence: “Please help me defeat impeachment.”
Jay Sekulow said it best at the Senate trial: Turning to the House managers, he said: “according to you, everybody here is wrong....except you.”
A democrat socialist is a socialist who caucuses with the Democrats in Congress because they are a half step away from being full blown Socialists themselves.
Dems stupidly wrote open-ended articles of impeachment, that they hoped would compel Senate Republicans to investigate for them.
Dems musta got that inane idea from Sharia law as practiced in ****hole Muslim countries.
Impeachment Commandante Penlosi was salivating over removing Trump .... she desperately wanted to take his place. She even tasked the wily Schiff to get dirt on Pence to shove him aside on her determined march to the Oval Office. Ever the exhibitionist, Pelosi stupidly held a gleeful impeachment signing ceremony-handing out pens like she was already in office. That alone, will go down in history as her biggest blunder.
DEMOCRATS STUCK ON STUPID---STILL USING THE FAILED KAVAUGHAN MODEL. As the trial commenced, Democrats began dropping what they said was one bombshell after another the same strategy deployed during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings to drag out the spectacle and maximize the political damage.
Like Hillary calling Trump voters deplorable, Penlosi figured no one was listening. She pulled out the cockamamie urgency to save the democracy ruse, sat on the articles for weeks, then started dictating to the Senate.
Once again, Penlosi's presidency paranoia took hold...... she had(A) zero standing to dictate the Senate trial terms, (B) no constitutional rights over the Senate, and, (C) not a scintilla of political leverage.
Stupid is as stupid does. Penlosi didnt see that coming. That shed get nothing from Mitch McConnell for her trouble.
We want them to steal the convention from Bernie.
Think 1968. Think 1972.
See my tagline!
(supporter of Operator Chaos—Make them steal it from Bernie in 2020)
The size of the box cars?
BS... Pelosi’s forcing the impeachment forward was all about getting rid of Biden so that a radical left winger would be the nominee... The far left fringe is growing too powerful and must be stopped... so they are taking them out with a classic rope a dope.
Give them exactly what they want, the impeachment... ensure they get the nomination.. and then get crushed in the general... then knee cap them with it, so the party can moderate for the 2024 cycle when the dems actually may have a shot at winning.
Her little staged temper tantrum is part and and parcel of this too... I don’t believe for one minute they fear this... Maybe Bernie wasn’t the leftist they had in mind... maybe they wanted it to be Warren, but there is no doubt in my mind they are intentionally throwing this cycle in order to knee cap the far left and moderate.
The only Pelosi is panicking over possibility Sanders winning Dem nomination is he tells what their party is all about she wants to keep their voters uninformed and in the dark.
Media bows
Cast your vote based on the 15% rule. The democrats changed their primary systems to proportional voting after the last election. So every candidate gets delegates based on their percentage. They put in a floor of 15%. To get delegates they must have at least 15% of the vote. My theory is that we want a contested convention with as many candidates as possible with delegates. If we vote for the candidate polling nearest to 15% in our state before the primary we can keep as many of them alive as long as possible. I say nearest to 15% because all polls have a margin of error. So a candidate polling 16.5% might only get 14.9% of the vote and fail to get delegates. By keeping as many of these losers alive as possible, hopefully all the way to the convention, we create disunity and distrust. Imagine if we could keep six candidates viable, Crazy Bernie, Mayor Pete, Liawatha, Bite Me, Klobuchar and mini-mike. The convention goes to a second or third vote. Deals get made, hopefully, several of them get screwed over. Disunity and an even bigger victory in November.
My district in Texas has no primary races of interest to me therefore I can indulge in this. By all means though if you have a chance to vote against the GOPe in the primary that is where you need to cast your ballot.
This sounds like a much smarter and more effective way to do "Operation Chaos".
I have too many contested local races where the GOP candidate selection could make a difference, so I have concluded I should vote in the GOP caucuses this time.
Otherwise I would follow your suggestion.
democratic and national ??
MUCH better!
Works for #metoo
What is the difference between a “democratic socialist” a “socialist”...and a “national socialist”?
A democratic socialist takes a vote, and then steals all your stuff, regardless of the outcome. A national socialist also takes all your stuff, but in the name of his nation. A “socialist” or an “international socialist” does in the name of humanity, or Mother Earth, or some other lofty thing.
Sorry, Nan, you should have thought it through when you turned your party over to the Squad and the Bernie-bots by pursuing impeachment. Enjoy what time you have left with your majority.
Nice observations there, alloysteel.
Initial good intentions eventually give way to violence.
In Russia, the Red Guard would knock on the door and take the man of the household away to be re-educated in Siberia.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn remarked that it was in the early days of the takeover when the fundamental mistake was made to not fight. If a few Guards failed to come home after the men in a tenement building ganged together with clubs, knives, and fists to drive them out, then the Revolution may have been short-lived.
The 2nd Amendment was designed to give us a better chance of stopping failed police states from easily enforcing their “stimulus programs”.
In another time and place, Pelosi and Schiff would have been more effective.
If they wouldn’t back Bernie they piss off the base.
No one who supports the President has any reason to vote for them anyway.
So get this, the DCCC had a presentation in the front room of their office and they didn’t close the blinds.

Some of our people spied on them from the street
They saw an internal poll from the Cali special election
Smith (D) 30
Knight (R) 26
Garcia (R) 13;
Uygur (D) 5
Papadopoulos (R) 3
Papad is not running in the special, only the regular election for the full term
There are several other minor candidates on both sides not in the poll
That’s 42 GOP combined and 35 rat combined. Garcia has way more money than Knight (GOP incumbent who lost in 2018) and more than Smith too I think.
Later one of our spies held an umbrella for a DCCC security guard who had to jump start a car.
I don’t know how politico got this, we should have kept it secret, they’ll close the blinds now.
The Burn is a SOVIET SOCIALIST.
They’re gonna sweep Bernie under the rug somehow! But he wins either way! His wife runs the outfit that all his campaign money goes through! She gets 15% off the top! And they’ll buy off Bernie.....because Bloomberg’s their man of the hour, likely mittens running along side as VP.
Bernie’s always been for sale and he still is.
