The RIGHT WING screams bloody murder over EVERYTHING and ANYTHING about a D, and in their deluded little world it is the Ds fault because they are DIVISIVE!
And, the MSM drones just drool and nod when they spew this nonsense.

Rubio, "HE IS THE MOST DIVISIVE PRESIDENT EVER!"
Anyone with a brain, "uh, Barrack Obama? How is this so ..."
