Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thinks Democrats complaining about the new slate of left-wing candidates gaining traction with voters need a reality check, calling the establishment “way, way, out of touch” with Americans during a stop by MediasTouch’s “On Sunday” podcast this weekend.
Sanders had a blunt answer when host Jack Cocchiarella asked the progressive patriarch what he’d say to members of the Democratic Party who are telling the rising faction of democratic socialists “if you’re not going to just fit in nicely with the Democratic establishment, you shouldn’t be a Democrat.”
Well, maybe the converse is true,” the two-time presidential contender replied.
“Maybe the Democratic establishment should begin to understand they are way, way, out of touch with where the American people are,” Sanders went on. “That we don’t need a party anymore which is dominated by wealthy campaign contributors.”

Is the party dissolving itself? Is it way.. way out of touch? Just a thought.
