Everything is going according to plan
N.H. polling has ‘old white guys’ leading Dem pack as party elders worry about Left-wing lurch
The Democratic Party establishment is about to experience the same kind of internal warfare the GOP faced in 2010 and beyond with the rise of the so-called “Tea Party” movement, and it’s liable to have a deleterious effect on the party in 2020.
The rising “Democratic Socialist” faction has only just begun to flex its muscle, having won a few seats during the November midterms but clearly looking to capitalize on those gains in 2020 and beyond. Its members are feisty, defiant, fiercely suspicious of the Democratic hierarchy, and champing at the bit to shed the last vestiges of political moderation and take the party full Marxist.
And to that end, several of the party’s declared 2020 presidential contenders are clearly ready to adopt that economic model because their campaigns have stuck gauged the political winds and they are convinced that’s the direction their party is headed, thanks in large part to the popularity of the Democratic Socialist faction.
But the party’s Marxist newbies are going to be upset by who the young Marxist Millennials are choosing: A couple of establishment white guys, at least according to early polling in New Hampshire, an early primary state.

Sanders has early lead over Warren in battle of the left
The Bernie Sanders vs. Elizabeth Warren primary is on.
The run-up to their presidential announcements sparked concern on the left that having both of them in the race would split the activist base and clear the way for a more moderate nominee. Now that they’re both in, the competition between the two promises to be one of the more intriguing subplots of the primary.
Sanders starts out indisputably ahead. Bolstered by the grassroots army he amassed in 2016, the Vermont senator easily outraised Warren in the first 24 hours of their campaigns.
He’s far ahead of her in the polls, too, trailing only former Vice President Joe Biden, who hasn’t announced whether he’ll run.
