Democratic Party leaders are sweating over the prospect of Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders - and also a fractured party. The New York Times reported Thursday that former President Bill Clinton has been calling old friends and venting about Sanders, fearing his nomination could wipe out the party in the general election. Sanders was Hillary Clinton's primary opponent in 2016. Former President Barack Obama, on the other hand, signed on to a party fundraising email Thursday afternoon that's central theme was all about unity.

No one can deny the political skills of Slick Willie. If he is worried that is a good sign.

I guess Democrats should have been less concerned about their ability to fleece the tax payers and more into creating talent.

I should send them flowers to thank them for not thinking about the future.

He is correct. Sanders will split the party in two: The ‘socialist’ half and the ‘lying about being a socialist’ half.................

Yep.
Bill had many many problems but he truly understood politics.
Without VJ and all her connections, Obama would never have even made Senator.

Ah, further proof that Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy is indeed a Muslim eunuch quota boy.

With a “diversity” degree and hidden records.

What a complete loser.

And liberals elected him (or her, not sure).

Thankfully, the African-Americans I have the privilege of knowing are far more accomplished and did not need quotas or fake sympathy to succeed.

If Hillary had listened to Bill in 2016 she would be president today.

As a matter of survival the rat party must find a way to avoid Sanders nomination. But it will be great sport to watch the reactions of the hordes of idiot Bernie bro’s as they proceed to run amok afterwards.

Democrats seem to have focused on nothing except impeaching Trump — they failed at that and they also failed to fully recognize how far Left the party was drifting while Party leadership was distracted. Party leadership (Pelosi, etc.) saw AOC and her friends as minor annoyances but didn’t realize the support that was building for 2016 candidate Bernie Sanders.

Big miscalculation.

Agreed. Slick’s a talented politician, and Carville’s even better.

Can a former President run as Vice President later? I wonder if Slick would jump in with Biden?

I truly believe Hillary was behind many of the nefarious s—t the Clintons did. Because Bill is a master retail politician who was just corrupt in the general sense and was a womanizer. But IMO, the Body Count, Chinagate, Whitewatergate, Seth Rich....Hillary was the brains and was more wicked of the 2.

Nazi Pelosi has called for party discipline and comradely unity behind the eventual candidate, whom she no doubt assumes will be Commissar Sanders.

The split has already begun.

Bill was also worried about the way Hillary campaigned, which put them at odds in 2016. He was right then, he’s probably right now.

Both of them destroyed the Democrats and built their own organizations.

Notice Trump is rebuilding the Republicans, a slow and hard process.
