The Memo: Trump tries to deepen Dem divisions
BY NIALL STANAGE - 11/04/17 06:02 AM EDT
President Trump is trying to foment tensions in the Democratic Party, after new revelations about last years primary campaign emerged from Donna Brazile, who served as interim head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
But Democrats in both the pro-Hillary Clinton and pro-Bernie Sanders wings of the party insist that Trumps interjections will only bring them together.
Nothing unites the Democratic Party like Trump, said Tad Devine, who was a senior advisor to Sanders during last years primary but was speaking to The Hill in a personal capacity. If he gets in the middle, it brings us together. If he had a little more patience, he would have let the thing go for a day or two but he cant help himself.
Karen Finney, who was a senior advisor to Clinton during the campaign and is also a former communications director of the DNC, agreed.
When Trump does that, it serves to refocus and remind people of what is at stake and what is really important, Finney said.
