'Slash-and-burn': Bernie Sanders' 2020 'attack dogs' ready for internal party warfare

Sen. Bernard Sanders has amassed a presidential campaign team of pit bulls skilled in the art of internal party warfare ‐ and in many cases is still grinding axes over the way he was treated by the Democratic Party in his 2016 run for the White House.

Three members of his team didn’t even back Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and instead supported the Green Party in the general election.

Others have made a career of ripping the very people Mr. Sanders now faces in the 2020 Democratic primaries.

Among those is David Sirota, his senior adviser and speechwriter who has earned a reputation for combativeness online. He has deleted 20,000 of his tweets, many of them harsh attacks on other Democrats, according to Politico.

Mr. Sirota and the other political warriors seem to belie the image the septuagenarian socialist enjoys among the voting public.

"These people are attack dogs and make it look like Bernie’s planning on a slash-and-burn campaign," said one longtime Democratic operative with deep presidential campaign experience. "Either Bernie’s naive, which I don’t think he is, or it’s a little bit of a recognition I’m going to say one thing and do the complete opposite."

#1 Tough crap. he ran and identified as a socialist while Senator. Why did you allow him to run in your party, other than to remove any doubt that you are in fact socialists. Now its Trotsky-Stalin time.

#3 That woman who claims Creepy Uncle Joe Biden nuzzled the back of her head is apparently one of the Sanders crew, too.

#4 of course there are some issues in Bernie's background too

one of Beto's hacks got hold of the video of a drunken shirtless Bernie singing 'This Land is My Land..." at a drinking party in the Soviet U just a few years before it collapsed and there is his wife's mismanagement of Burlington College and lots lots more

#6 The woman biden creeped on might have been driven to Bernie because of Biden's creepiness. But it doesn't really matter. Instapundit has been posting creepy pictures of Biden for a decade now.
