Hours after praising socialist Senator Bernie Sanders prior to ABC’s Democratic presidential debate on Saturday night, ABC News political analyst Cokie Roberts completely reversed course on Sunday’s This Week and brushed off Sanders as unelectable and having shot at the nomination even if he wins both the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary in February 2016.

Leading into the debate Roberts touted how Sanders “is the longest-serving independent in Congress and he immediately set teeth on edge because he took on both parties in the House of Representatives and then when he went to the Senate.”
