This is what boggles my mind. Folks who see party as a sports team to be loyal to. Like you could ever see a Packer fan root for the Vikings, or a Red Sox fan root for the Yankees. The allegiance is based on nothing but faulty perceptions and pride. Nothing real.

The great tragedy of all this is people putting party over self interest and over country.
