It’s not ‘unprecedented’ for Democrats to turn on a member not toeing the line

Rush Limbaugh website headline:

“It’s Unprecedented! Brazile Turns on Clintons, Drive-Bys Turn on Brazile”

Sorry Rush – it’s not unprecedented. Democrats have one objective – power. They’ll never waiver from that focus: even if it means eating one of their own on the way.

Donna Brazile, a Left-wing operative, crossed the line by attacking Hillary, a powerful Democrat figure: the Party has NO tolerance for those who step off the path. Unlike Republicans, Democrats close ranks when out of power – the GOP should take notes.

Jonathan Tobin has a great article in National Review Online that explains just that.

The essence? As liberal columnist Charles Blow noted in the New York Times, beyond the natural interest in behind-the-scenes gossip about the campaign, the only real significance of Brazile’s exposé is the political damage it could do to the Democrats’ brand. But even those who are most eager to join Brazile in shoveling dirt on the political graves of the Clintons are not interested in wrecking their party.

And the payoff: “For all of the simmering discontent on the left, liberals are firmly focused on attacking Trump rather than one another.” (bold emphasis added)

Unprecedented? Nope – not when it’s an out-of-step Democrat, Rush.
