I did a deep dive on this. The media is definitely doing an anti-Bernie fix (again) this year.

If Bernie gets a knife in the back again, I think the Democratic party isn't salvageable

we'll see pretty sure both the party and the media are owned by big money interests (it makes sense) so it will likely at least be attempted rich people ain't trying to pay more taxes!

What I don't get is what the grand strategy is supposed to be. Turn Warren and Bernie on each other to clear the path for Biden? Unless the game plan is to slide the real president in as Biden's VP, and pull a "Tippecanoe, and Tyler Too"

So here's what I think the strategy: 1. Rich people run the democratic party and media 2. Rich people don't want to pay more taxes 3. Bernie will make them pay more taxes 4. Democratic party/media will support anyone who they trust to not jack up taxes.

5. They see Bernie as the biggest threat to #4. He was last time and it was rigged to doom him. That said, IMO, Bernie laid down like a coward. 6. So they'll support Warren (who they have in their pocket - she endorse Hillary last time!) or Biden or others similar.

7. They will also support Yang now because they think he splits the Bernie support and has no realistic chance of winning. It's the same thing they did with Trump in 2016 but it backfired and Trump actually won.

8. Biden 27, Sanders 20, Warren 19, Buttigieg 7, Bloomberg 5, Yang 3, Klobuchar 3, Steyer 1, Gabbard 2, Booker 2, Bennet 0 (current national polls). When this shakes out to two candidates you get: Conventional: 27 + 7 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 44 Communist: 20 + 19 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 45
