No, it's both parties. Trump and his supporters might be retarded, but the Republican establishment is not.

I don't know of a single member of the "Republican establishment" who's expressed any anxiety about the possibility of Bernie being the DEMOCRAT candidate. Can you cite any examples?

Bernie was not cheated last time. He was an independent who was allowed to debate Hillary on the Dems dime. His national reputation was thanks to the Dems. He was never close to beating her. Once a right wing mantra is established, the rights repeat it like Catholics at church. HUMAHUMMA HUMMA,We all pray.

Bernie is the only ‘democrat’ [have to use the term loosely when it comes to Bernie] that has an energized following. Many democrats will obediently back Biden *only* because he’s the establishment horse in the race.

If it does turn out to be Biden, Democrats will put up their second weak candidate in a row. Most Democrats wouldn’t admit it but they didn’t really care for Hillary. Whoever it is, will be going against a ‘stronger Trump’ than Hillary did. Trump has the organization this time, his energized base can equal Bernie’s and he would likely attract more independents and even many moderate Democrats.

Which is why the democrat establishment will go as far to sabotage Bernie.

All of that said, if I were Trump I’d take nothing for granted and I’m pretty sure he won’t. No, I’m very sure he won’t lol.
 
The 1968 convention happened in Chicago, not Milwaukee. Anti-war protestors protested against the war, not the results of the convention. If protesters go to any convention this time around, it will be trump's convention. he draws some scary supporters.

Donna Brazile begs to differ.

No,” Bernie Sanders responded in an April 2016 interview when asked by NBC’s Chuck Todd whether he thought the DEMOCRAT Party had been fair to him in his primary challenge against Hillary Clinton, the presumptive presidential nominee. “Look, we’re taking on the establishment. That’s pretty clear.”

Days earlier, on the eve of the DEMOCRAT primary in New York, the Vermont senator had accused the Clinton campaign of improperly subsidizing the former secretary of state’s presidential bid through the Hillary Victory Fund, the joint vehicle her campaign set up with the DEMOCRAT National Committee and 32 state party committees.

Although he eventually campaigned for Clinton after she clinched the nomination, Sanders spent the next several months claiming that the primary system was “rigged” against him, only to be roundly dismissed by party leadership. But according to Donna Brazile, who served as the interim D.N.C. chairwoman after Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s ouster, Sanders’s accusations were hardly baseless.

Brazile says she found concrete “proof” that the Clinton campaign stacked the deck: an August 2015 document outlining the “Joint Fund-Raising Agreement between the D.N.C., the Hillary Victory Fund, and Hillary for America” that effectively allowed Clinton to control the D.N.C.’s purse strings.

With the D.N.C. millions of dollars in debt after Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election bid, the organization was in desperate need of cash, leaving the party with little choice but to rely on Clinton’s donors to recapitalize. But much of the money was ultimately routed back to Clinton. As she learned, the Hillary Victory Fund was little more than a “fund-raising clearing house” for the Clinton campaign.

The questionable nature of the Hillary Victory Fund was no secret during the DEMOCRAT primary. As details of the arrangement emerged in the spring of 2016, the joint fund-raising effort drew a great deal of scrutiny from the Sanders camp, the Vermont senator’s supporters, and the state party committees that signed on.

In July, e-mails released by WikiLeaks revealed that party officials and the Clinton campaign sought to bury the particulars of the deal and tamp down criticism directed at the fund.

So try to help me with the current conspiracy theories, because the Right keeps changing them.
The Left is Marxist, but the Democrats are more pragmatic. So they do want Marxism, but not a candidate who openly uses scary words like "Socialism," right?

we do not know yet whether the Marxist Demmycrats or the Pragmatic Demmycrats will win in August......

He probably can't. But not everyone who is a registered Democrat actually likes the DNC or considers themselves a Democrat. Most Americans, especially Millennials and Zoomers, have become cynical of both parties. That's part of why Trump has so much support among Conservatives despite not even being conservative.
I think Bernie's status as an outsider is going to help him.

Don't you only watch Fox News? Look at how the pundits are lying and going off on Bernie.

No, I don't watch Fox News (as a rule), and the Hill story you cited contains exactly zero examples of members of the "Republican establishment" expressing any anxiety about the possibility of Bernie being the DEMOCRAT candidate.

Do you think Jacob Palmieri, a senior at University of Maine, is a "member of the "Republican establishment"?

Even if you do, here's what he said: "“You look at Trump, he’s got this base of supporters, is really unmovable. This helped him through impeachment, helped him win the Republican establishment in 2016. Bernie, we don’t agree with him on anything, but he has that same thing. Does Bernie have the ability to get moderate Republicans to come over to him? Not really. He’ll end up really only getting that base out.”

Does that sound like Jacob Palmieri, a senior at University of Maine, expressed any anxiety about the possibility of Bernie being the DEMOCRAT candidate.

In fact, since the story states "The views of the Republican faithful contrasts with the views of moderate DEMOCRATS who worry Sanders will remain vulnerable to Republican attacks over his views," it appears to contradict your assertion.

I have to wonder whether you actually read the story that you offered as "proof" that "the Republican establishment" has expressed any anxiety about the possibility of Bernie being the DEMOCRAT candidate.

Heh heh. That's right. Party raiding is a thing in the primaries.
