'A complete lack of competence': Bernie Sanders furious with followers in key battleground state [View all]

"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has grown increasingly unhappy with how supporters of his who took control of the Democratic Party state apparatus in Nevada have run things in the past two years, and he's making his feelings known through his surrogates.

According to a report from Politico, the senator from Vermont's opinion of the tenure of supporter Judith Whitmer, who took control of the state party as a progressive, has taken a turn for the worse as she now faces ouster.

Politico's Holly Otterbein wrote, "Socialists had managed to bring down one of the most powerful establishment forces in the nation, the famed Democratic machine built by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. They saw it as a blueprint for the progressive transformation of state parties. Two years after the experiment began, there are regrets."

According to the report, there is a belief in Sanders' camp that Whitmer has abandoned her progressive leanings, and support for her further leadership has disappeared."
