It's mighty sad, but there are some among us who don't see how we can possibly lose by 'winning at all costs'.
Throwing the guiding principles of your party into the waste bin, in order to win an election, is how we ultimately lose everything. This has been borne out in actual practice in the Republican party since 1988, yet some are too dense to see it.
They confuse the jersey with the individual. If they're wearing our team jersey, then they must stand for everything we stand for, despite any public record which indicates otherwise.
And so what if they've got a black mark or two on their public service record? They're the 'lesser of two evils' dont'cha know, because they said so, and they're wearing our team jersey!
