Democrat elites tell Bernie to pack it up and go home

Ever since we knew Bernie was going to throw his hat in the ring, I've been arguing that he's unelectable. Partly it's because he's a socialist. That still carries a hugely negative connotation for most of the country and, at some point, he would have to outline his actual economic plans. When that happened, it would only serve to reinforce peoples' belief that socialism is unsustainable and anti-growth. However, Bernie's political leanings weren't the only reason to assume he's unelectable. The bigger reason is that the Democrat Party has no interest in letting him be their nominee. The far left base might like him, but the party as a whole has no intention of handing itself to an uncontrollable non-member.
