"For some Democrats, it’s a scenario they say they’ve dreaded and feared: waking up to the reality that the 78-year-old Vermont senator, an independent who has reshaped party policy and promised to bring a revolution to Washington, has a real shot..."

"... at capturing the nomination. For the Sanders campaign, it’s been part rallying cry, part admonition: At events across Iowa this weekend, the candidate and his top surrogates repeatedly warned of a coming fight with forces that would try to stop them, at points celebrating the clash, at points cautioning supporters to stay positive.... 'In these last eight days, things are gonna get crazy,' Ocasio-Cortez said on Sunday. 'I don't even know what's gonna happen. And that's why we've gotta stay focused and committed as possible. And let's make it joyous, y'all... Let's make it joyous.'... Michael Moore... told supporters, 'The knives are out. The rich woke up this morning, and they read these articles and they're like, "Oh no, oh no, what are we going to do?" So we'll see what they're going to do.'... The 11 candidates in the race have largely declined to attack Sanders directly...."

From BuzzFeedNews.

ADDED: Here's how the new Iowa polls look today, with Bernie spiking. Look at that, and then answer this:

In this last week, will we see the other candidates attack Bernie directly?

I am an optimist.

Ted Cruz should be either a Supreme Court Justice or President.
Pence needs to step back.
He is GHWBush, redux.

@Godfather, your comment at 6:18 is inconsistent with the last sentence of your comment at 5:40. What changed in the intervening 38 minutes?

Pretty sure he meant to write 2024 at 5:40

Heard in the ally behind the DNC, "Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Biden." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken BidenWilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville!"

If Sanders gets the nomination, will Gabbard be his running mate?

@Godfather

Bush won in 1988 because the Democrats were still insane. This lead to the ascendancy of the DLC, and Clinton winning in 1992.

The Democrats are going to react to Trump's re-election by going even more insane. So Pence will win election in 2024. Some time in 2025, the Democrats will decide that their University professors were wrong, and that they actually have to pretend to be sane in order to win.

So they'll test out sanity in 2026, and most likely win the Presidency in 2028.

Then, in 2029, they'll show that they were lying about their pretenses of sanity, and in 2030 they'll get crushed, again.

Whether or not they'll pull things together by 2032 depends on which faker wins in 2028.
