a democratic socialist, I watched a clip on MSNBC where the liberal gaggle was commenting on the Democrat primary.
A. B. Stoddard was on the panel.
For those unfamiliar, Stoddard is a veteran Washington D.C. reporter who has worked for ABC, The Hill, Fox, MSNBC, and others. She's liberal, but very pragmatic, and understands how Washington works - from the intricacies of the budget to legislation.
Stoddard told the panel that nominating a "Socialist" was going to devastate the Democrats, and that the party would not recover "for decades."
This infuriated another female panel member, and she "corrected" that Sanders is a "Democrat Socialist", to which Stoddard replied: "Whatever" and said it made no difference (word games).
This further infuriated the female panel member and other nut jobs on the panel.
Stoddard spoke the truth.
If Sanders wins the nomination (and it looks like he will), expect a 24/7 blitz for months from the media about how he isn't really a Socialist.
Trump will beat the Socialist angle like a drum.
"Stoddard told the panel that nominating a "Socialist" was going to devastate the Democrats, and that the party would not recover "for decades."Yes and No.
Hell the Democrats nominated Democratic Socialist McGovern in 1972, got wiped out, and then won the next election with Carter.
And if the Dem Party leadership steals the nomination from Bernie, his Stalinist AntiFa goons will riot in Milwaukee and likely elsewhere. Which reminds me, I need to stock up on popcorn.

Saw the shorter clip and it was awesome. Can’t wait for the party to start: full out Civil War, Bolsheviks vs. the Mensheviks.
