Bernie Sanders is rising quickly in the polls as Iowa and New Hampshire voters prepare to cast their ballots in the 2020 Democratic race for the White House.
This is making plenty of Democrats nervous.
“Bernie Sanders could be the nominee of our party,” 2020 Dem Pete Buttigieg messaged through his campaign in a recent email. “Bernie’s campaign is out-raising and out-spending us. If this continues, there’s a good chance he wins the Iowa caucuses.”
Bernie On the Rise
As his poll numbers spike, Sanders is relishing in needling the Democratic establishment.
“They’re looking at recent polls in New Hampshire and in Iowa, and they’re saying, ‘Oh my God, Sanders can win!’” Sanders told a full auditorium in Ames, Iowa.

Bernie Sanders could easily win the nomination—unless somebody stops him. So why aren’t his opponents trying? https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/01/27/the-democrats-bernie-bind-106856 … The Democrats’ Bernie Bind

“Suddenly, we have the Democratic establishment very nervous about this campaign. We got Wall Street nervous,” Sanders told a large Sioux City crowd Sunday night. “They’re starting to think, could this really happen?”
Iowa and New Hampshire will be the first two states to cast ballots in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, and Sanders is doing exceptionally well in both. Iowa’s caucuses are Monday, while the New Hampshire primary is a week from today.
The latest Iowa poll from Emerson gives Sanders 30 percent, former Vice President Joe Biden at 21 percent and Elizabeth Warren, 11 percent. In the latest New York Times/Siena poll, Sanders is leading in Iowa at 25 percent to “Mayor” Pete Buttigieg’s 18 percent, followed by Biden’s 17 percent.
A New Hampshire poll released Thursday by WBUR-TV gave Sanders a whopping 12-point lead over his fellow Dems, with Buttigieg in second and Biden in third. Biden has been dropping in recent polls, but not as much as Warren.
Moderate Democrats Worried
As Sanders continues to rise in these important early states, some of his far-left socialist proposals have some moderate Democrats worried.
“We issued a warning a year ago that Sanders could win the nomination and would likely lose to Trump. And we’ve been the only ones really taking the fight to him,” Matt Bennett, the vice president of the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way, told NBC News. “It’s past time for other Democrats to come off the sidelines and for the media to start doing its job to vet a serious contender for the nomination,” he added.
“We simply can’t stand by while there’s a threat that Democrats could nominate a guy who would hand such nuclear-level ammunition to the Trump campaign,” Bennett finished.
I suspect the Dem nominee will be Hillary again. The Dems simply won’t let Bernie be their nominee and the head of their corrupt party.
in case of panic, break (out Clinton)
Bernie will kick that football THIS TIME FOR SURE!...................
They are all 110% crazy.
If that happens, the dems will have “cheated” the Bernster out of the nomination for a 2nd time. What do you think his supporters will do in the general election?
Can California Republican voters, vote for Bernie in the upcoming election?
Bloomberg: the other white bread.
Sanders is too crazy.
Biden, too corrupt.
Bloomberg, too rich, too old.
So, right now the four top contenders for 2020, Trump, Sanders, Biden, and Bloomberg are all white men over 70.
Why won’t the boomers die? (I was born in 1950.)
Democracy - the most popular one wins. Who is against that?
I keep reading about these creatures. Has anybody ever seen one in the past 50 years? Aren't they extinct?
Bernie is not the guy that will inspire fake voters to load Democrat buses to out of state polling stations.
Is it an open primary state?....................
They are in hiding ........... behind the Moderate Muslims...................
Bernie needs to win because Bloomberg will never spend his billions on Bernie.
They are all 110% crazy.

Your number is low.
The best thing that could happen to the Democrat Party would be for Bernie to win - - then for Bernie to lose to Trump.
They need to rething their out of touch, nose in the air, corrupt party...
The rest of the country who don’t want five states or seven cities with the most population to choose who’ll be president.
They’re still trying to figure themselves out; don’t know whether they’re centrists or progressives or moderates or ...
