Amy Walter: Partisan Divide ‘Deeper and More Significant’ than I’ve Ever Seen

‘It is the divide between gender, and race, and education’

WALTERS: "If you, this is true, although we know as you know, Chuck, as do you, the Democrats still have a geography problem. And where their, the most difficult Senate seats for them to hold are in places where they need to win Democrats need to win Republicans, not just Independents. Where some of these key House races are, they need to win Republicans not just Independents.The Pew poll thing, what depressed me the most, is remember when President Obama came in in 2013 and he said “the fever is gonna break on this partisanship”. I looked at that poll and it is, the patient is in critical condition. The fever is spiked. It’s not just a divide between D and R and I, it is the divide between gender, and race, and education, is deeper and more significant than I have ever seen, it can’t continue like this that we have two countries that are divided on those things for this long of time. It’s super depressing."
