The problem with the Democrats 

I’m going to do something a little different: a flaw in the Democratic party.  High profile Democrats are ruthlessly attacking each other similar to the 2016 election, and this will lead to the re-election of Donald Trump.  

  It all started when Elizabeth Warren’s campaign released a statement saying that a woman could not win the Presidency, according to CNN.  Bernie vehemently denied the allegations, and the issue took form at the most recent Democratic Debate.  

The two candidates restrained from fighting amongst each other until now, at a crucial point in their campaigns with the Iowa caucuses set to take place in just a few weeks.  The fighting between the two frontrunners has provoked fights among other candidates.  

Joe Biden and Sanders have recently fired shots at each other when Sanders attacked Biden’s record on social security.  Sanders was also targeted by someone unexpected: Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee in 2016. 

It seems as though Clinton is still bit bitter that Sanders waited so long to endorse Clinton in the 2016 election.  Recently, Clinton affirmed her belief that “nobody likes Bernie Sanders” and that she would not endorse him as the Democratic candidate.  

​

This is exactly what the Democratic party does not need: a repeat of the 2016 election where the Democratic candidates harbor great animosity towards each other even after a nominee is chosen.  

If current and past Democratic candidates continue to take shots at each other, they will divide the Democratic party and voters will not unite behind a single candidate.  The focus must be on beating President Donald Trump, and the only way to do that is to unite together, without fighting each other.
