The Democrats almost never gang up on one of their own for doing something inappropriate.

That’s one of the many reasons why we lose.

Bingo. I refuse to get outraged at something or someone because the media or a lefty politician says I should. I get outraged when it deserves outrage.

That's because for Democrats, the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

That’s one of the many reasons why we lose.

We have something they don't: principles. We judge everyone, ourselves included, according to those principles. As a result, our side always suffers, because our people who show themselves lacking in principle are judged by our side. Democrats who show themselves lacking in principle, however, are only judged by us, which gives the Dems a double advantage: they can cover up for their people, and then complain that all we do is refuse to work with them in the spirit of bipartisanship (i.e., doing what they want).

Some day we will learn not to give a damn about principles, and live by our version of their primary rule, that the issue is never the issue, the issue is always the Constitution. Then and only then will we be able to overcome the enemy. Whether we will be able to look ourselves in the mirror afterward is a separate issue.
