Not really. They did up until after the 1990s. Now not so much. I will give you, the Democrats were not really known for policing their own, much in my memory, period. If they had, we would not have lost 58,000 troops in Vietnam and another 303,000 wounded. Bill Clinton (though actually good for the country, overall) would have been kicked out of the White House for having Monica give him blowjobs in the Oval Office cloakroom. Now in the age of ignoring constitution, constitutional and historic norms, stupidly, uselessly appropriating/ spending tax dollars and increasing debt limit beyond what will be spent in the next 4 years, Republicans cannot be counted on to control their own worst instincts and only attack Democrats for being Democrats, not for simply bad policy. Not reigning in their own, no longer trusted to reign in the Dems, either. The two major parties in this country truly suck, and the best one can hope for or vote for at any given time, to vote for the least damaging candidate of the moment.They do a better job than the Democrats do there.
Proof is in the pudding. If Winsome was a Dem, this issue would be 24/7 on CNN and MSNBC...
Dodging and equivocating, typical for Dems too cowardly to stand up and tell Alphabet Mafia what Dr. King would have...
