A manufactured spat this weekend between Senator Elizabeth Warren and the campaign of Bernie Sanders had echoes of the public divisions contrived between primary presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in 2008 and again between Clinton and Sanders in 2016.

Except this time, the fabricated nature of Warren’s complaint against Sanders is more obvious.

But that isn’t stopping Warren — whose fundraising totals during quarter four were dismal — from trying to make a buck off the counterfeit quarrel. She references the fake feud in an email to supporters while warning that party divisions would help Donald Trump.

(Ah, the party unity argument. “Party unity” is the battle cry of the ruling class to keep the peasants in line. You won’t hear liberal elites utter that phrase if/when Bernie becomes the party nominee).

Shake your money maker… BTW: Warren inspires me to get to the polls like a root canal inspires me to see my dentist.
