Is an ascendant Bernie starting to go off the rails?

Before the Bernie fans go ballistic please note that I am FAR less pessimistic on your candidate than many here but its interesting for me to note that as he has taken the front-runner position he's also started to come out with more left stuff that was hidden before:

1. "DNC establishment" tweets on Friday.
2. The pro-Cuba propoganda.
3. Russian nude vodka party (if legit).
4. BDS with AIPAC stuff.

Whats suddenly going on? Could this be a sign that as he emerges victorious we see the side of Bernie and he's not the cuddly democratic socialist that he makes out? If this happens early enough then it will provide Biden with an opening.

primary today, I would vote for:

gets out in front, folks take shots at the leader to bring them back to the chasing pack.

I suspect Bernie is about to face some of that flack.
