I noticed that, too, when I was preparing my response. It’s very heartening, and points toward the bigger issue with the Democrat/Republican divide I’ve noticed. Republicans are largely principles-based. So, yeah, if they see one of their own proposing something that goes against the party’s general principles (smaller government, upholding rights, etc.) they’ll turn on them. Democrats are much more ad-hoc in their beliefs so the they’ll mindlessly adopt positions regardless of whether they contradict each other and not even notice because unity is more important than sense.
