>You're being distracted by actions of those in power vs. the common mentality of the people voted them in.

At some point you have to draw a line connecting the two groups, right?

Otherwise, if these groups differ significantly, then they'd be voted out. On the contrary, polls show overwhelming support from within that party.

>but the shared mentality amongst the party members, of both parties, is the same: our team must win at all costs.

Sorry. That's simply not true. Look at the House Russia investigation and the behavior of people like Nunes.

You'd be hard-pressed to find an equivalent dereliction from the other side in a matter as significant as that implied by the allegations and evidence to-date. Think of it: there was more emphasis on HRC's emails.

We can say it's a matter of opinion, but at some point we must converge on reason. There is no equivalence here.
