    What everyone must understand is that Dems NEED the Republican party, specifically the moderates. The Republican party is the counter weight needed to keep voters from picking progressive candidates to turn the party leftward. The Democrats can just as easily follow Republican tactics to oust the Republican party and undermine their power but the Democrats 100 percent know what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. Without the Republican party the Dems (moderates) would be left vulnerable to progressives who pull further away from the moderates eventually splitting the party and weakening it’s power. The Republican party is largely fine with someone like Trump because it’s power only grows faster.
