Pro-Hillary Super PAC Advisor Paul Begala Confirms: ‘Bernie Is Real’

CAMEROTA: “Bernie Sanders gaining momentum in Iowa. Once considered a long shot, some polls suggest he's making striking gains on Hillary. So what is her next move? Let's ask our CNN political commentator and Jeb Bush supporter Ana Navarro. And CNN's political commentator and Democratic strategist Paul Begala. Paul is a senior advisor for a super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton. Great to see both of you guys this morning. Paul, I want to start with you and I want to put up this latest Qunnipiac poll. It's very interesting, because it shows where Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were just two months ago on May 7 versus where they are today. And as you can see, Hillary Clinton has ceded some ground from 60 percent to 52. Bernie Sanders has more than doubled his support of Iowa caucus-goers. That is, these are Iowa Democrats. Fifteen percent to 33 percent. What do you make of these numbers?” 
BEGALA: “Well, first, they're real. Bernie is real. And, Alisyn, it's a burden I carry and I hope it carry it with grace, this burden of prophecy. How many months have I come on our air and said, when Bernie was a blip, that this was not going to be coronation? And it won't be. By the way, look at that number in that, 52 -- Hillary will not get 52 percent in Iowa in 209 days. She will not. Nobody has gotten over 50 percent in the Iowa caucuses in either party except incumbent presidents, vice presidents, and Tom Harkin, the legendary Iowa senator who was a home state favorite. She won't get 50. Nobody does in my party or in the Republican Party. This is going to be a real race, and I think actually that's good for the Democratic Party.”
