I think they're right about losing the house and I like this move. It's obvious the progressive movement is taking over the party but there are a lot of moderate D that don't want anything to do with Bernie. For example, my wife who has voted D all her life and is from Vermont did not vote Bernie, or any other progressive candidate, in the primary. The DNC is basically saying this is our party, go get your own. It *may* hurt 2020, but it's a long play. They did it with Hilary, they'll probably do it again.
As someone who is really tired of two parties, I welcome a fracture. I was already under the belief Trump was gonna win anyway, so this doesn't actually hurt that much.
Probably an idealist scenario, but I'm going with it!

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
