Joe Scarborough was very skeptical of Senator Bernie Sanders’ attempts to paint House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and Joe Biden’s other supporters as the “establishment” working against him.

Morning Joe spoke at length on Thursday about how Biden responded to Sanders’ jabs at his supporter base in the aftermath of Super Tuesday. The discussion also focused on how Clyburn recently told reporters that Sanders never tried to court him for an endorsement, adding “I find it very interesting that someone is referring to African American voters in South Carolina as the establishment. I don’t understand how that vote can be dismissed.”

“You really have to say that a guy that owns three houses, that is a millionaire, that is attacking a black voter in Orangeburg, South Carolina as ‘the establishment,’ as ‘the elites’ may be missing the bigger plot,” Scarborough said.

1. I'm not a fan of Joe but

he's right about this.

2. That's pretty much my take.

I think DUers give JoeScar way too much attention and credit, but I can't really argue with him here. The constantly-morphing establishment argument has always been a little ridiculous.

3. Joe 100% correct. Sanders can't accept that americNs just doesn't like pie-in-the-sky proposals

from a guy never passing any bill THAT he wrote, EVER
