A thing that Republicans do that Democrats need to do

9. false equivalency...of the 'we'

it isn't the Republicans elected to office that blow up Democrats through lies and innuendo. They tow the party line, but the real bull-horn is controlled by those they serve. If the Democrats went with the 'Third Way' and attempted to woo some of the real money in politics, perhaps it would be a different story. They too might have their own network, and plenty of money for shenanigans to take down any perceived threat.
