Democrats are worried that the fight between former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is doing lasting damage to their party.
As the bickering between the former rivals grows more intense, Democrats say it needs to end.
“It reiterates that our party is still led by people with fatal flaws,” said one former senior Obama administration official.
Another former Obama official added, “It’s like watching two children bickering.”
The only winner from the infighting, they say, is the Republican president.
“Donald Trump must love the backbiting between Sanders and Clinton,” said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon.
“The two of them and their supporters have lined up in a circular firing squad at a time when our guns should be trained on Trump,” Bannon added. “The infighting indicates that we have not learned the lesson from 2016 that should apply to 2020.”
The fight began last week with the release of Clinton’s book, “What Happened.”
In the memoir, Clinton said Sanders “certainly shared my horror at the thought of Donald Trump becoming president, and I appreciated that he campaigned for me in the general election.
“But he isn’t a Democrat — that’s not a smear, that’s what he says,” she said. “He didn’t get into the race to make sure a Democrat won the White House, he got in to disrupt the Democratic Party.”
Clinton has piled on during her book tour, which served as a reminder of the bitterness between the Clinton camp and her rival during the 2016 primary.
Dems fear lasting damage from Clinton-Sanders fight
They should worry more about the lasting damage being done to their party by the "Democrat Agenda vs. The American People" fight.
For years, the Democrats have legislated against the will of the people, pushing everything from amnesty to high taxes to treating blacks differently from whites to socialized medicine - all things that most normal Americans didn't want. The results have been predictable, as health care costs rise, recessions drag on interminably, illegal aliens and their supporters riot in the streets and pour across the border by the millions, leftist blacks and their leaders start riots in St. Louis and other such cities, and more people get shot in Chicago alone than in every war in recent memory.
The damage done to the Democrat party as people come to realize that the Democrats are steering the country down a long sewer drain, will not be fixed quickly... if ever.
