GREENFIELD, Mass. – Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren told a packed town hall Sunday that her party has grown more unified since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, despite the recent eruption of intramural fights over the 2016 presidential election.

“We have come together as the party of opposition,” Warren told reporters after the town hall in western Massachusetts.

Her message of unity glossed over claims made last week by former interim Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile that the 2016 primary was “rigged“ in favor of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton over challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont—a phrase Warren herself used earlier in November.

Since the election, Warren has avoided reopening the wounds of Clinton’s shocking loss. On Sunday, she focused on steps current chairman Tom Perez is taking to address the underlying “problems” that plagued the DNC’s handling of the Clinton vs. Sanders primary, saying Perez is “negotiating rules to make sure that never happens again.”

1. Yep that is a better message!

2. What problems plagued the primaries?

To date, no one has pinpointed a single thing the DNC did to cause 3 million more Democrats to vote for Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, from the Deep South to California and New York. Sanders lost on his own merits, and the role of the DNC in anything, in general, is highly overstated.

The only “problem” I ever saw was the endless conspiracy theories that proliferated about the DNC throughout that endless primary season, intended to sow divisions and cast doubt. It was precisely these whiny subterfuges about “rigging” that turned so many thinking voters off (and turned enough “anti-establishment voters on) that was the “problem.”

Enough about this already.
