I have news for you, Democrats didn't fight for their voters. They fight like dogs for power & they do it as a pack. They have the collectivist mentality.
When a Republican fights, he does it like a Republican, as an individual. Leading Republicans is a lot like herding cats. You can get most of them going in the right direction using a whole lotta energy, but if you get too pushy about it, they'll turn on you, hiss at you & refuse to go the way you want them to go. On the occasions any Republicans fight like dogs, they join the pack, which means turning their backs against their own party.
Herding cats, I know where you got that one.
