You have to remember something in politics: In general, most Republicans see politics as a hobby, while most Democrats see it as a job.

This is why Democrats never throw each other under the bus. Republicans find it much easier to walk away from their "hobby" and do something else with their lives, but Democrats function like marginally employable people who are trapped working for a major corporation without any hope of getting a comparable job somewhere else. They may hate their boss and even many of their co-workers, but they'll suck it up and plod on through life with a big smile on their face because they'd be living in a cardboard box somewhere if they ever stepped off the reservation.

Bingo!!!!

That’s exactly the difference between Rats (professional GOP politicians!) and normal people.
