One cannot help but note that the rise of Bernie Sanders and the socialist/left in the Democrat party is a problem of their own making. Everything that the progressive/left/liberal crowd has been saying for the last twenty or thirty years has produced this moment. The progression from Bill Clinton to Barrack Obama to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders is more than obvious. The socialist left elements of the party are trying to slide into the drivers seat. Only now when the moderates see a disaster in the making are they willing to try and stop it. It might be too late.
One thing you can say about Trump, he has been lucky with his opponents. Hillary was a gift. Pelosi is becoming irrelevant and now he may get Bernie the socialist.
