Are they really stupid enough to go forward with this?

It's really strange the donks would pick this issue as their hill to die on when the War on Wimmin™ crap has been shown not to work in elections and the millennial generation is becoming more pro-life.

By the way, say what you want about Bernie Sanders and his economic policies, but he gets it and understands the lessons from the 2016 election while the feminazi wing still seems lost.

Perez is a corporatist idiot cut from the same cloth as Emmanuel and Podesta.

It's a bit surprising Bernie continues with unity thing but perhaps he sees a real rift happening in the party that could enshrine the conks for a few cycles. Ironically it's not even his party.

And then there's Feinstein who came out against Bernie's Medicare for all concept as the "government would control all healthcare" (it wouldn't, just the insurance part).

She's as dumb as Perez.

Dem Party needs some new blood! Looks like that cycle needs to happen every 12 years or so....

Answer: no

The GOP hasn't divided over it and neither will the DNC.

At the end of the day, in a binary system, everybody holds their noses and pulls the lever

(I'm assuming the Dems aren't complete morons... if they value their strength as a party)

No civil war. That dumbass Donk (redundant?) Senator Bob Casey of PA is pro-life, but otherwise votes in lockstep with Schumer and company.

You don't like IPA's anyways because they're too hipster and remind you that you're gay, remember?

REPUBLICANS ON BREAK OF CIVIL WAR

President Donald Trump is getting a bitter Washington lesson when he messes with Jeff Sessions – you don't pick a fight with one of the Senate's guys.

It's a lesson that could cost him politically in a Senate where he badly needs Republican support for his lengthy agenda, starting with healthcare on Tuesday.

"I don’t understand it. There’s no more honorable person I’ve ever met in my life than Jeff Sessions,” said Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., a close friend of Sessions and his wife. “The only person who is more upset with Trump about this than me, is my wife.”

Sessions spent 20 years in the Senate, winning a reputation for affability and party loyalty. He understood and doggedly practiced the code of what's been called the world's most exclusive club: You can disagree without being disagreeable, but you protect the institution and its members.

“It would not be well received on Capitol Hill,” Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama warned, saying Sessions had been loyal to the president “to a fault.”

“Most people in the U.S. Senate and U.S. Congress believe Jeff Sessions is a man of integrity,” Shelby said on Fox News on Tuesday. His firing, Shelby said, “would not be taken lightly.”

Indeed, such a move would infuriate Republicans, who control 52 of the Senate’s 100 seats. Many GOP senators reacted in classic Senate fashion to the treatment of Sessions. They were not visibly angry but clearly annoyed and often upset. And with what could be construed as a few veiled warnings to be careful.

Senate Republicans have become increasingly accustomed to shrugging off questions about Trump tweets and have weathered criticism from the president for their inability to deliver a repeal of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. A vote on whether to proceed to debate on the bill is scheduled Tuesday, and coming up are Trump initiatives on overhauling the tax code, cutting the federal budget, boosting infrastructure spending and more.

Senators made it clear the attack on one of their own stands to color Trump’s relationship with Senate Republicans, said Inhofe, a senator since 1994.

“I’m 100 percent for the president, but I really have a hard time with this,” he said.

“That’s what he does, I don’t think he means harm with those tweets,” Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said of Trump.

But Hatch added, "I’d prefer that he didn’t do that. We’d like Jeff to be treated fairly."

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-North Carolina, agreed.

”I guess we all have our communication style and that’s one that I would avoid,” Tillis said, adding that the Russia investigation by an outside special counsel should proceed without interruptions: “The fewer distractions we have, the faster the investigation can proceed and the less confusion the electorate has to deal with,” he said.

”Sen. Sessions is showing the independence I expected of him and that’s a healthy thing,” Tillis said.

Even those who said they were nonplussed by Trump’s criticism made it clear they sided with Sessions’ recusal decision.

“Jeff made the right decision. It’s not only a legal decision, but it’s the right decision,” said Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla.

Sarah Sanders, White House principal deputy press secretary, Monday declined to elaborate on what Trump meant by describing Session as “beleaguered,” only repeating that Trump was “very disappointed” with the attorney’s decision to step away from the Russia investigation.
