Why do we see periodic articles such as this, about identity crises within the GOP, but never hear such stories about Democrats???

The Democrats have moved markedly left in recent decades, but nobody in the media talks about that.

could JFK be nominated as a Democrat presidential candidate today??? Would a JFK fit into today’s Democrat party? That sort of question is never asked.

I have heard that Hubert Humphrey believed in strong family values, and decried the growth of the permanent welfare state, accompanied by growing numbers of out of wedlock births and single mothers. He was a strong liberal in his day, but would he fit into today’s Democrat party???

Exactly, and that helps explain Trump’s V and why so many have left the Demwits. No wonder they have to keep importing dumbs**** from Mexico and overseas. No one else in their right mind votes for their extremist, pandering candidates.

Democrats work to secure power by ANY means possible; Republicans work to secure reelection by ANY means possible.

Fellow travelers.

No and never.

See previous answer.

Because the Republican Party is diverse in ideology and is therefore internally contentious, whereas the Democrats are all liked-minded totalitarians who do not experience crises of conscience.
