s the left turning on its darling, Bernie Sanders? On Friday, Netroots titan Markos Moulitsas, namesake of the liberal Daily Kos, dropped a rhetorical bomb on the Bern, blaming the candidate for doing too little to denounce death threats received by the Nevada Democratic Party after Sanders’ state convention delegates complained they had received unfair treatment. “The problem isn't Bernie Sanders' supporters,” Moulitsas wrote. “It's Bernie Sanders himself … [He] refuses to forcefully and unambiguously reject that violence, instead rationalizing and explaining it away with a mix of grievances and outright conspiracy theory.”
Actually, Sanders hasn’t lost much support among his most avid supporters—who do not include Moulitsas, a sometime critic. What we are seeing, however, is that it’s no longer taboo in liberal circles to attack Sanders as he drags out the nomination process at a time when many are itching to turn their fire on Donald Trump. And if his reputation in the party is being damaged outside his base, that will make it harder for him to extract concessions from Clinton regarding the platform and party nomination rules at the convention.

From what I have seen of Bernie supporters female and male (allegedly), they couldn’t tear a Kleenex in half.
As long as Hillary has certain voting blocs on her side (*koff* SEIU *koff* #FreddieGray *koff*) she also has the violence card.
Surfing thrugh the TV and saw (1:15 PM PST 05/23) some talking heads, with a banner running at the bottom, about a Clinton/Sanders ticket.
While politics make strange bedfellows, it seems to me that the vitriol both sides are spitting at each other is too toxic for that to happen.
Then again, this is Election Year 2016. Popcorn is in high demand.
