Just like last time, when our beloved mainstream media also put it in hyperbolic "civil war" terms. If only. They follow the leader, who loves watching them fight among themselves for his favor. It has ALWAYS been his management style.

Media are just taking advantage of a disillusioned left by trying to sell it hope in the form of this "civil war" crap. If only. Don't believe me? Watch all this multiply as all the other clickbait merchants file in with even more excited headlines.

End of the day, they follow Trump. The end.
