Philip Bump @ WaPo says in an analysis piece: Sanders wants Democrats to think that Warren’s gains are a function of moderates. They aren’t.

Excerpt (the whole has the pertinent graphs):

[....] Patrick Murray, who runs the Monmouth University Polling Institute, noted on Twitter that the Politico article relied on the opinions of a few people in determining that more-moderate Democrats were lining up behind Warren.

Murray noted that Monmouth’s polling paints a different picture than Politico’s interviews would suggest.

Bernie has been complaining that's not what he meant. Judge for yourself, by clicking through to the entire thing:

“That tweet was not about Elizabeth Warren, at all,” Sanders says just now to @ChrisCuomo about this tweet >>> https://t.co/Li4ISuMRk2
