Christian Science Monitor: How Bernie Sanders is making the Democrats Play Nice

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/USA-Update/2015/1015/How-Bernie-Sanders-is-making-the-Democrats-play-nice
-snip-
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has promised his supporters that he will focus on the real issues during his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. And so far, he has followed through on this promise.

Like his competitors, Mr. Sanders has appeared on a variety of comedic talk shows, such as "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "Late Night with Seth Meyers," and most recently, "Ellen," hosted by actor/comedian Ellen DeGeneres.

Senator Sanders’s appearance on Ms. DeGeneres’s show highlights the his ability to simultaneously talk the issues and show a lighter side of his personality – all while avoiding negative comments on his competition.

EDIT: This first Democratic debate has been acclaimed for addressing the issues and showing the adults are in charge in stark contrast to the Repug circus - this is in large part because of Bernie Sanders. Of course, this is something else about Bernie the MSM won't acknowledge because it doesn't fit their preconceived narrative.

I wonder at which point, and who, snaps.

Thing is, I can see Hillary all primed for a cat fight...and getting no comers. I hope she's frustrated eternally.
