Sorry, but this Trump thing really demonstrated the lie behind all that. His race-baiting and so forth make him unfit as a person let alone a leader. His lies and crimes were clear before he got elected and yet pretty much every republican obediently fell in line behind him.

Obviously their personal power was worth more than whatever platform they ran on originally. The entire party has no integrity.

> Anyone who would say this with a straight face isn't intelligent or isn't honest, so they can't speak for intelligent honest people.

Oh yeah? How many people were at the inauguration? Trump/Sean/Kelly's words are direct and obvious lies that contradict video of the event from multiple sources.

How's that a party for intelligent honest people?

> Identity politics and strong liberal populations in universities has made it social suicide for anyone to admit they have any doubts about the Democratic party.

Says the non-liberal who isn't at university and read it from a Facebook-linked news article. Alternate facts from an alternate universe.

I know you didn't pay any attention to the Democratic primaries but nobody holds the democratic party to be sacred. Nobody calls it the Grand Old Party or in any other way reveres the institution. That hero worship of the past is a Republican thing.
