The Democrat party has officially declared war on itself and it is getting ugly.
To start things off MSNBC’s Chris Matthews erupted on why Senator Bernie Sanders should not be the Democrat nominee for President.
Matthews said:
Those of us like me who grew up in the Cold War and saw some aspects of it after visiting places like Vietnam, Cuba, being there, I’ve seen what socialism is. I don’t like it. It’s not only not free. It doesn’t freaking work.”
“I believe if Castro and the Reds had won the Cold War, there would have been executions in Central Park. And I would have been one of the ones executed, and certain other people would be there cheering. So, I have a problem with people for the other side. I don’t know what Bernie means by socialism. One week it’s Denmark. We’re going to be like Denmark. I’m like that’s harmless, a capitalist program with a lot of good social programs.”
He concluded, “That’s a great question, what did you think of Castro? We all thought he was great at first. I was cheering like mad for him when he first came in, and then he became a Communist and started shooting every one of his enemies.”
Next up is former Secretary of State John Kerry who said during a campaign stop for Biden in New Hampshire, “I’m not personalizing this with Bernie, but he’s a Socialist. He’s been a Socialist all his life. I’m not and a whole bunch of Americans or not.”
Then there is George Stephanopoulos who asked Sanders why Democrats shouldn’t be worried about Trump attacking him over being a socialist and Bernie’s only response was, “Because Donald Trump lies all the time.”

Then Stephanopoulos (ABC News anchor) asked all the candidates and asked them how they felt about Bernie’s views.
Breitbart News Reports:
But the moderator then turned to all of the other candidates, asking whether they shared Biden’s concern about having a “democratic socialist” running against Trump in the fall. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) was the only one who raised her hand. South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg said he did not worry about labels, but said that the party could not nominate someone who said “my way or the highway.”
When Stephanopoulos asked whether he was referring to Sanders, Buttigieg said he was. ”
“Needless to say, I have never said that,” Sanders retorted, adding that the party needed a candidate who did not work for the “billionaire class” — a shot at Buttigieg, whom the Sanders campaign has criticized for his fundraising among the elite.
It’s getting ugly out there and the fix is in, they want Bernie out, and they have no idea how to do it.
