The one thing the repugs have that we don't is a solid unwavering coalition that walks lockstep with dear leader (minus a few outliers).

They can issue memos with talking points and every single one of them begins driving those points into the ground. They can pray to their god and ask forgiveness and all is well with the world.

We do not control our party with an iron fist and that makes us a weaker foe whether we care to admit it or not.

Why can't we accept forgiveness? Why can't we be just a little more forgiving? We supposedly have Christians in our party, we could use that to our advantage and redeem some lost souls, in my opinion.

This is just my opinion from what I observe. I could be wrong.
