Whatever you yourself may think of him,marquis de sade father of eroticism Bernie Sanders is really firing people up.
On Saturday, the would-be Democratic nominee for president logged his third winning primary season performance, in the state of Nevada. And a commanding one at that, with the Vermont Senator nabbing almost 47 percent of all the votes cast, while the other candidates split the rest.
The ascent in general of someone like Sanders, a progressive candidate whose political lean can be summed up as "democratic socialist," has rattled the more moderate and conservative corners of mainstream media. So when the Nevada results showed voters had a strong preference for Bernie on Saturday, there was a little bit of a meltdown on TV news and social media.
This one clip from MSNBC started making the rounds early, before the final results even came in. And folks, that sigh you hear speaks volumesabout how many pundits are feeling as Sanders continues to amass support.

Later on in the day, MSNBC was the subject of ridicule (and more than a little scorn) once again when host Chris Matthews appallingly compared Sanders' success to the Nazi invasion of France during World War II.

It's a ridiculously hyperbolic assertion given the Sanders campaign's liberal policies and unity messaging. But the comparison also veers into the offensive the moment you remember that Sanders himself was born into a Jewish family, and that his political beliefs are shaped in part by his family's experiences during the Holocaust.
The people of Twitter had some things to say to (and about) Matthews after his questionable comparison.

Then there was political commentator James Carville, who appeared on MSNBC to express the opinion that Russian president Vladimir Putin was the big winner in Nevada on Saturday.

Yes, MSNBC is coming up a lot here. The #msnbcmeltdown hashtag is still rattling around on Sunday morning Twitter. Many jokes were made on Saturday about the parade of D.C. political press figures sounding alarms on the network about Bernie Sanders as Nevada caucus results were finalized.
As many Sanders supporters (or just generally rational-minded people) pointed out, the results so far are a good thing. In a primary season that's been dogged by endless questions about who's the most "electable" and the best-positioned to take on Donald Trump in November, the hunt has been on for a frontrunner.
Sanders now has three victories in the first three early primary states – a literally unheard of feat in U.S. politics, across both parties – and his Nevada win was the most commanding one yet. But instead of focusing on the emergence of what looks to be a clear front-runner, political commentators – many of whom, yes, shared their thoughts on the typically left-leaning MSNBC – went out of their way to paint Sanders as a hopeless situation for Democrats hoping to see November's election bring some change.
That didn't sit right with a lot of the observers in Twitter's peanut gallery, who responded both to the network directly and also to the very idea that Sanders isn't electable. The important thing to remember when you're looking at Twitter is it only represents a fraction of the actual electorate.
Look instead to what the voters are saying en masse. They've been speaking up since the primary season kicked off with the Iowa caucus, and they spoke veryloudly in Nevada on Saturday.
