We won’t win them all. But we will win our fair share. And as long as we stand on our principles we will win in the end.

Funny how you almost never see a story like this about the Democrats. Am I to believe that there's been no dissension in the ranks there since Andrew Jackson?

The difference is that Democrats all pull the same rope when it comes to winning elections/issues. They don't "fragment" until the previous unified front causes them problems. They all knew that Cruz, Lee and company were correct, but held together until the pretty much won the issue, then those affected decided to start clean up actions.

Their voters do the same thing - burn them a thousand times and they still vote for the Dems who burned them.

We fragment early and often and keep giving them elections because "the lesser of two evils is not a choice even if it means what is happening right now with a second Obama term - we have long-range dreams and short term schizophrenia - the long term can't happen if you keep killing your short term chances.
