"However, the president is in a very different position.He represents the entire country; not just Dems."

The president is lots of things. One of them is Party Leader.


He may be the titular leader of his party but he is still the president first:

The President of the United States of America (POTUS) [7] is the head of state and head of government of the United States. The president leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces. The person in this position is the leader of the country which has the largest economy and the largest military, with command authority over the largest active nuclear arsenal. The president is frequently described as the most powerful person in the world. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
