So pissed at Kristen Gillibrand for saying Bill should have resigned

74. This is why Republicans win. They rarely devour their own.

It’s the ONE thing I envy about Republicans: Discipline. They get together on a central message and hammer away in highly coordinated attacks. They stay on-message, and very rarely diss or disown their fellows. When attacked, they circle and defend even the worst of human beings.

I’m not saying that criminality and abuse should be overlooked, as Republicans tend to do with their own. Hell, they’re in the process of re-making the U.S. into a Russian satellite state. And a vintage KGB staple is to sow doubt, confusion and division. Last year, Democrats and progressives took the bait, and the continuing internal squabbles did not help save democracy.

Without a keen sense of discipline, look for self-criticizing, purity-seeking Democrats to lose, again and again.
