Dem Establishment FREAK OUT — Rahm Emanuel says there's 'panic' over a possible Sanders nomination

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) said today that the Democratic Party is starting to “panic” amid the surging presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

“I would say ‘panic’ would be the apt adjective to describe the mood right now,” Emanuel, who also served as former President Obama's first chief of staff and as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee from 2005 to 2007, told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.

“Since 1992 from Bill Clinton’s election and reelection, Barack Obama’s elections in ’08 and ’12 and the national midterm elections of 2006 and 2018, it’s been one playbook of what I call a metropolitan majority between suburban and urban coming together to give Democrats a majority,” he said.
