Moments after Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was declared the winner of New Hampshire’s Democratic primary, CNN’s far-left liberals like host and activist Van Jones were ecstatically gloating about how “this guy is on the march” just like President Trump in 2016. And they didn’t appreciate it when establishment Democrats such as former Obama advisor David Axelrod pumped the bakes by noting how well “moderate” candidates did by comparison.

Jones was the first panelist to speak after the race was called, and he wasted no time in praising the coalition Sanders had built and how he was on the raise:

VAN JONES: Listen, he's on track. It is true that he is -- he can get black support, he is winning Latino/Latina support right now. He's got young support. He’s got an army of donors who are willing to— He and Bloomberg have inexhaustible resources because he can get – So, this guy is doing it and, listen, I remember when Trump was on the march and everybody kept saying, “Yeah, okay, so he won this time but, of course, he'll be stopped, and let's figure out what Marco Rubio is going to do or what somebody else is going to do.”

“This guy is on the march. I think you're going to see the establishment freak out and try to stop him, but tonight you have to give him credit. It is very, very difficult to pull off what he's pulled off,” Jones declared. “He's never actually been a part of this party but he's transformed the party without joining it, and now the voters are coming with him.”

Host Anderson Cooper then marveled at “the small-dollar donations” to the Sanders campaign, calling it “extraordinary” and “something we haven't really seen.” Of course, that was a tee-up to former Sanders campaign staffer Alexandria Rojas, who proclaimed: “This is not some fluke. It is because of years of hard work and a movement that was led by, again, one of the most diverse coalitions of young people America has seen.”

Former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer Jess McIntosh could barely contain her excitement as she crowned Sanders the “new Democratic frontrunner.”

Of the establishment Democrats on the panel, Axelrod seemed to be the bravest since he spoke up to pop the far-left bubble. “But I just want to say, again, there are warning signs in these first two races here, too. We can say that he's bringing the people along with him, but 75 percent of them didn't come. And that's true in Iowa as well,” he argued, taking a clear shot at Jones’s comment.

Just as Axelrod reminded them that Sanders had previously won the state with 60 percent of the vote, his colleagues began to yell over him, causing Cooper to demand they let him finish.

“If there is a center-left candidate around whom people gravitate there is a majority of voters there to take him on, whether that happens is a big question. We've got two moderate candidates who have come out of this in very strong shape tonight in Buttigieg and Klobuchar,” Axelrod finally added as the far-lefties again raised their voices.

To accent the verbal battle, CNN weekend host Michael Smerconish speculated that the Democratic primary could be headed towards a brokered convention. “I'm not here to predict that will definitely happen, but I think that today, as compared to 48 hours ago, we're still closer.”
