20. Us Dems get confused as to end game long before we apply our filter for ethical standards

Welcome to DU!

Republicans, Trump being an extreme example, only view winning as the objective and only filter out that which impedes winning. GOP was only against pedophilia while they thought it hurt them and now that Trump/Bannon has convinced them otherwise they ignore it. Nothing focuses a Republicans mind like the end game to the oblivion of all else. To the GOP there is only winning and that which impedes winning.

Us Dems are actually thoughtful policy wonks and try to follow a coherent, yet somewhat malleable, ideology. With the GOP abandoning almost all of their sacred cows Dems are challenged to find a fight with anybody but our fellow Dems.
