Sounds a lot like what Obama was pissed about establishment democrats trying to do to him in 2008.

Yeah

Of course, he immediately stopped being pissed about that the day after election day, brought all those establishment Democrats right into his administration, and presided over things like Rahm Emmanuel telling a bunch of Code Pink anti Iraq war activists who has helped GOTV to stop being "fucking retarded" by making public demands that members of the Bush administration were held accountable for their war crimes,

But at least he was smart enough to understand that allowing establishment voices to campaign with him would have lost him votes
