In the meantime, it makes things more difficult on presenting a united front, as you have pointed out.
I'm also concerned that this could benefit the Clintons. With all the political infighting, they could claim to be the saviors of the party who can once again stabilize it. While I think they are calling a lot of shots behind the scenes, this could enable Bill to re-emerge as a public leader and help propell Hill to the presidency. Hopefully, as has been suggested here, the Democratic party will die and be recast. But I won't hold my breathe.
