Senate Democrats queasy over Sanders as nominee
By Alexander Bolton - 02/13/20 06:00 AM EST

Senate Democrats are feeling queasy about their party’s presidential primary after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) seized frontrunner status by winning the New Hampshire primary, while former Vice President Joe Biden stumbled to a fifth-place finish.

Democratic senators have been careful not to criticize Sanders publicly, fearing that it could undermine party unity heading into the November general election, which they view as a must-win contest.

But they have serious questions about the electability of their self-described Democratic Socialist colleague, and the problems he may create down ballot for vulnerable Senate candidates.

Face it, Dems.  You don't have a single decent prospect running.

Except for possibly Amy.......... and she doesn't have a snowball's chance of winning the nomination.
