The Democratic Establishment Suddenly Loves Bernie Sanders
16 April 20
When he was winning primaries, many in the Democratic Party were wary of the Vermont senator. Now, he’s a friend, chess-playing companion and “American original.”

“If the Democrats want a nominee who’s a Democrat, a lifelong Democrat, a proud Democrat, an Obama-Biden Democrat,” he thundered triumphantly after his momentum-turning victory in South Carolina in February, “then join us!”
Bernie Sanders is not a lifelong Democrat. He is not an Obama-Biden Democrat. He is not even a Democrat.
