Why the need to add commentary that gives the impression of Democrats "fighting"? Rhetorical.
"Connecticut senator is picking a battle that puts him at odds with his Democratic colleagues."

Then, they, Politico, discount the honest effort by Senator Murphy to protest the dishonesty perpetrated
by Republicans in regards to the budget bill by giving the impression that his motives are purely selfish.
"stoking speculation about his own presidential ambitions."

Politico's efforts and so much of the Press are very insidious.
