"Elizabeth Warren says Obama doesn't understand 'lived experience of most Americans.'"

108. I agree Obe, that is her point, but I don't agree with her assessment that President Obama has a

blind spot regarding the statistics as telling the whole picture.

Your second point in my view really hits the nail on the head. The press absolutely is going out of their way to create the impression of a deeply divided Democratic party, and doing their part to encourage it by over exaggerating different views within the party.

The over analysis of the differences between Perez, Sanders, Pelosi, and others in the party, or aligned with the party, only serve their purposes to exploit this.

A perfect example of this is the different views of various Democrats, and those who align with the Democrats, regarding support of Democratic candidates' whose positions on abortion do not align with the parties platform. The press exploits this to its full extent.

Of course what is usually left out of that discussion, is the political reality that after the parties nominee for a particular office has been selected by the voters of that party, and you are left with an anti-choice Democrat running against an anti-choice republican, isn't it better in most cases that support is given to the Democrat?

Bob Casey in Pennsylvania is a perfect example of this. Casey is as anti-choice, and anti-roe v wade as they come, however, he was the Democratic nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania against Rick Santorum. Except for abortion, Casey would be labelled as progressive in on almost every other issue. So the question is, if Bob Casey runs for re-election in 2018, and wins the Democratic primary for Senate in that state, should the Democratic party support Bob Casey against the republican?

Of course the press won't go into those details because it doesn't sell papers
