Cable news personalities had a lot to say about Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (D-VT) early lead in the Nevada caucuses Saturday, with MSNBC's Chris Matthews likening it to the shock of France falling to Germany during WWII.
“It looks like Bernie Sanders is hard to beat... I think it's a little late to stop him, and that's the problem,” Matthews said during a panel segment. “It's pretty much over unless that changes.”
He then dropped the eyebrow-raising WWII reference, seemingly as a way to describe how Sanders has—in his view—clinched the Democratic nomination.
“I'm reading last night about the fall of France in the summer of 1940. And the general calls up Churchill and says, ‘It’s over,’” Matthews said. “And Churchill says, ‘How can it be? You got the greatest army in Europe. How can it be over?’ He said, ‘It's over.’”
Other pundits also marveled at Sanders’ lead, with CNN’s Van Jones claiming the jaws of the Democratic “establishment” were “hanging off their faces.”
“Nobody thought six months ago thought we would be sitting here with Bernie Sanders on his way to the nomination. He's on his way to the nomination,” he said. “Something could happen to stop him. Somebody may have some marbles to throw at the stairs or banana peel, they better find it. Because this guy is off and running.”
Jones commented on the impressive Latino turnout for the Vermont senator, claiming that he was “running as if he's a Latino candidate now.”

If Sanders manages to get the nomination, I wonder if Matthews will change his mind and side with Sanders against Trump.
Yep what’s with this analogy? So then Bernie Sanders is Nazi Germany subduing France? What the heck is his mindset to come up with something like that?
We need to make sure Bernie is the face of the Democrat Party and make them wear the socialism openly.
Vote Bernie in the primary!
Of course!
It does make you wonder what Matthews was thinking, doesn’t it?
Boy, they have a Nazi reference for anything and anybody — even one of their own.
We have a closed primary in Pennsylvania. I’m sorely tempted to become a RAT, and vote for Bernie, just for a little Operation Chaos.
More accurate than not. National socialists are just one more flavor of totalitarian socialism. That’s Bernie from top to bottom.

Is Matthews calling fellow democrats Nazis? Say it Chris!
My goodness, little Chrissy Matthews is having a moment of clarity.

I’ve always felt that France falling quickly was a blessing in disguise.
It may very well have saved Europe from a complete Bolshevik takeover, as the English, German and French armies bled each other dry, making it easy pickings for the Red Army.
pan·ic
/panik/
noun
sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety
Wonder what they are more afraid of, Bernie getting beat in a blowout or him actually winning?
If Bernie is the nominee, Chrissy will fall into line.
“....So is it safe to say that Chris doesn’t get a tingle in his leg from Bernie?....”
Oh, Chrissie, is getting a “tingle” alright....it’s diarrhea running down his leg.
I don’t understand why the RATs are so upset with ole Bernie. Ever since the POTUS ripped the facade off their faces and agenda, Bernie has pretty much been the face & voice of the communist RAT party for awhile now. Maybe it’s because they’re afraid that America might now see right thru them for what they really are? Well, it’s a little too late for that. Hey, they’ll still pick up NY, CA, MA and maybe a couple of others so what’s their problem? /S
Norman Thomas and Eugene Debs must be proud now, their bastard love child has done well.
