Steve Hayes: Rigging of Democratic Primary Is a ‘Big Deal’ for the Party

‘You have this populist wing of the Democratic Party led by Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and others who has made it their business to take on the establishment’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FAULKNER: "Other Democrats were saying, if you are watching social media, I knew, why didn’t you all say something when it was happening? How would you categorize the damage to the aquatic party? This matters for a whole host of reasons. If they weren’t voting for the candidate not a fair fashion, that’s a problem. That’s the idea, are we going to see a third party coming out of this? Where are they? Is this a paper cut or a stab wound?"
HAYES: "I think this is a big deal. Some of the kinds of fights you are seeing are not unlike the fights you’ve seen inside the Republican Party. You have this populist wing of the Democratic Party led by Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and others who has made it their business to take on the establishment. I think they took on the establishment for a long time and lost in part because of the rigging in 2016. But you can expect them to have much more success going forward in part because the center of gravity of the Democratic Party today is on the left. Not the center left but far left with the emergence of people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Cory booker and kamala Harris. A spokesman for the party, that is where the Democrats are likely going in the coming years years."
