Like Trump leading in the conk polls, it's early, so Sander's improving numbers are nothing to get overly excited about. Still, the old pro-gun, socialist is at least on the establishment's radar screen.
It will be interesting to watch how Clinton deals with Bernie and how full of shit her populist pandering will come off as. It won't happen, but Bernie winning the nomination would be fantastic on so many levels. HIlary a two time loser, CID1990's head exploding, and the socialist scare tactics that would come from the right. Even if he got McGoverned, I think it would be worth the viewing.

It labels Sanders “no progressive when it comes to guns.” The commercial flashes headlines from online news articles calling Sanders a “gun nut.” In a message about the anti-Sanders ad, the pro-O’Malley PAC explained on Facebook, “You can’t claim to soak the fat boys and exempt the profiteers in the gun industry.”
As the Boston Globe recently reported, Sanders “has amassed a mixed record” on gun issues, voting against the landmark Brady gun control bill but voting in support of a ban on assault weapons in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school shooting. As the Globe noted, activists have found that Sanders has shown little interest in gun-related legislation.
The O’Malley attack on Bernie appeared online only shortly after Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., a close ally of the Hillary Clinton campaign, appeared on MSNBC this morning to bash Sanders. “I very rarely read in any coverage of Bernie that he’s a socialist,” McCaskill said on MSNBC.
