But yeah, the idea that Sanders is a troublemaker or upstart thus the establishment-corporate dems are against him, I think is completely true ( I also think that the attacks on Cortez, by both the right and old dems, are attacks on Sander by proxy). And the thing of the idea of the socially liberal but fiscal conservative candidate is something that the Libertarians have a lock on. I wouldn't mind a democrat running on such a concept, but who's brave enough to do so? Will Beto go there? Will Booker?
