   Establishment Democrats are panicking about the rise of   
   democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and the slide   
   of former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 race, Fox News   
   contributor Guy Benson said Thursday.   
      
   Earlier in the day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was   
   asked to weigh in on the state of the party following Sanders'   
   New Hampshire primary victory and insisted that party leaders   
   are "calm, cool and collected," adding that when members   
   disagree about the best candidates, "that’s politics. It’s a   
   messy business.”   
      
   "Calm, cool and collected so much so that she is ripping up   
   pages of the State of the Union address?" Benson asked Thursday   
   on "The Story"   
      
   "Look, I think that if she had her way, she would absolutely   
   want to help nudge voters away from Bernie Sanders," he added.   
      
   Democrats divided over possible Bernie Sanders nominationVideo   
      
   On Wednesday, Sanders called former Clinton adviser James   
   Carville a “political hack” after he said it would be the “end   
   of days” for Democrats if Sanders became the nominee.   
      
   "I think Pelosi is looking at this situation and saying, 'Maybe   
   it’s not useful for me to weigh in on this,"' Benson told   
   substitute host Ed Henry. "'Let people decide what they’re going   
   to do. Don’t put my thumb on the scale' ... but some of her   
   members, some of those moderate members who are majority makers,   
   they are blabbing to reporters all over this town saying, 'We   
   cannot have Bernie at the top of the ticket or I am totally   
   cooked.'"   
      
   Benson added that Pelosi "definitely knows that but she   
   recognizes that the establishment going too hard against a guy   
   like Bernie could actually strengthen him," calling it the   
   "Trump effect."
