Is Chris Matthews Warming Up To Trump?

So, Bernie Sanders easily won the Democratic Nevada caucuses and as a result the elites are flipping out.  Chris Matthews on MSNBC compared the Sanders win to the Third Reich’s invasion of France during World War II when the Nazis penetrated the Maginot Line. Why all the fuss? 

There are several reasons. For starters, the establishment in the Democratic Party is primarily funded by wealthy donors like Wall Street, Silicon Valley and Hollywood.  They are fat-cat capitalists and they fear Sanders and his anti-billionaire rhetoric. Then there is the matter of power, both in the White House and the halls of Congress.  That is, the people in power want to stay in positions of power and feed off the trough of government spending. This leads directly to the final matter. Many political strategists believe that a Sanders nomination will tip the balance of power to the Republicans in Congress as a result of a negative coattails effect in the 2020 presidential election.

Well-known Democratic establishment political strategist James Carville has gone so far as to call Bernie Sanders a communist and Chis Matthews has piled on by comparing Sanders to Fidel Castro saying that if Castro had managed to bring communism to America there would have been executions in Central Park.  Further, Sanders is getting the Trump Treatment of being called a stooge of Putin. 

Fear does strange things to people.  Apparently, many of the Democratic elites fear Bernie Sanders more than Donald Trump.  At least, that’s what Chris Matthews, who is a mouthpiece of the Establishment, says.  If true, a Sanders presidency is opposed by almost everyone in the country except left-wing socialists and radicals. 

They say that politics make strange bedfellows. However, could you even imagine Democrats voting for the Orange Man?  The bottom line, though, is that Democrats would rather lose with Bloomberg/Hillary than win with Sanders. Go figure.
