Republicans want to be liked and Democrats want to win.
~~~
Republicans want to get re-elected, individually, whether the party in the majority or minority.
Democrats want to push their radical agendas through in those short periods when they can, because they don’t assume they’ll keep their power.
Yep plus Democrats just have a killer instinct that Republicans lack.
Republicans as a group argue about purity first then try for power.
Rats seek power first, second foremost and always !
