Veteran journalist Jeff Greenfield joined host Lawrence O’Donnell on Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Last Word for some old-fashioned liberal punditry and expressed hope that the growing support for socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders could signal the “healthy” birth of “a socialist wing of the Democratic Party...that Europeans would recognize as a left wing.”

Greenfield’s comments were prompted by observations from O’Donnell about polling data of one-on-one presidential general election match-ups showing Donald Trump and Jeb Bush in tied and closely behind Hillary Clinton, respectively along with Carson leading Clinton that had O’Donnell dubbing “the real crack cocaine of polling.”
