And so it begins...

...

Mediaite reports:

“Senator Harris, one of the most popular Democrats in America right now is the guy who won here in 2016, Bernie Sanders, describes himself as a Democratic socialist,” Doocy said, and asked, “To compete in New Hampshire, do you have to––in the Democratic primary––do you have to move more toward the Democratic socialist part of the party?”

“The people of New Hampshire will tell me what’s required to compete in New Hampshire, but I will tell you I am not a Democratic socialist,” Harris replied. “I believe that what voters do want is, they want to know that whoever is going to lead understands that in America today, not everyone has equal opportunity to, and access to, a path to success.”

Bernie Sanders, of course, is not a Democrat and is therefore not “one of the most popular Democrats in America.” He is the longest-serving independent in congressional history.

Ergo deriding Harris cause of him is just rude
And since when is realclearpolitics a barometer for Bernie supporters? Unless of course the poll that day gives them the answer they want?

"I am a Christian, an American, and a Democrat--in that order. Nothing else."

just stating my opinion...if it was "just" political, why "Christian"? There is supposed to be a clear cut separation of religion and faith.
