Don’t forget Reagan’s 11tg commandment, “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.” Republicans don’t typically have as much internecine (i.e. intragroup) conflict - typically - this fiasco is an outlier. It’s a little more common for Democrats to fall all over themselves. Sometimes that’s good, Democrats calling for menendez to step down, and sometimes not, calling for franken to step down (my opinion).
