Democrats have enemies.
Republicans have worthy opponents.
Therein lies the problem.
Of course, the problem is exacerbated by the mainstream media which views all conservatives as evil enemies, while Republicans in turn fear the media.
Perhaps this is why Trump is surging, since he has no fear of the Democrats or the media (I repeat myself).
To liberals, politics is blood sport. Its a win at all costs game for them. Republicans just can’t seem to understand that that simple and obvious fact. Republicans are also naïve and weak and they operate under the complete fantasy that they can compromise with Democrats. When a Democrat offers to “compromise” it means let’s do it my way.
You can’t score points when you’re always playing defense.
After dealing with Democrats in Minnesota for ten years, I have concluded that they are the enemy and must be destroyed. This is after dealing with some who openly advocate violence against those who go against the Leftist orthodoxy.
