In response to your other point - that Democrats have more "circular firing squad" issues to deal with than Republicans, I respectfully disagree.

It's true that Democrats are in much worse shape than Republicans, but that isn't because of internal divisions. The Democrats are in shambles because A. they don't know how to govern and B. they've alienated white voters. The media loves to talk about how Republicans alienate blacks and Hispanics, but just barely acknowledge how liberal Democrats have been giving the middle finger to whites (especially blue collar whites) for decades.

When it comes to party unity, Democrats march lockstep much more than Republicans do. For example, it was obvious that any and all viable Democrats were told not to run against Hillary because it was "her turn," and they obeyed - only unelectables and no-names made a token show to make the process seem like a real election rather than a coronation. When Bernie got too big for his britches, the DNC put him in his place (as the DNC hacks revealed). When Hillary was nominated, Bernie and all other Democrats wasted no time endorsing her.

In contrast, the Republican primaries were (mostly) wide open no matter how hard the party tried to inflict Jeb upon us. After the primaries, many prominent Republicans not only didn't endorse Trump, they actively tried to sabotage his candidacy during the election. Now they're trying to stall Trump's cabinet appointments. No prominent Democrat attempted to do the same to Hillary, and no House or Senate Democrats ever questioned any of Obama's cabinet appointments. So Democrats are failures in spite of their party unity, while Republicans are relatively successful in spite of their relative lack of party unity.

The upside to all this is that conservatives tend to be independent-minded while liberals think and act in lockstep.
