There is an interesting and bright-line difference between the Democrat and Republican parties in the United States. When, in 2008, there arose within the Democrats a charismatic fraud and a charlatan, the old guard and media outlets of this party embraced him enthusiastically and rode him to power. Now, in 2016, when an equivalent bigger-than-life blaggard appears within the Republican party, the establishment of this party disavows him and goes into full panic mode ... trying to excise him like a cancerous tumor.

Seems that the 11th GOP commandment, "Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican," has been revoked.
BTW while searching for that quote, I came across the Reagan gem: "I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon." Honesty...
