Which is why during the last two nights we witnessed the bizarre new phenomenon of the Democrats again and again accusing each other of borrowing "Republican talking points" - apparently the worst sin that can be committed.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren during Tuesday night's CNN debate said, "We should stop using Republican talking points in order to talk with each other about how to best provide that health care." This, after she claimed Democrats "Are not about trying to take away healthcare from anyone. That's what the Republicans are trying to do" - an assertion she made in spite of President Obama breaking his oft-made promise that no one was ever going to be forced off a private health plan by ObamaCare.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders unhappily told CNN's Jake Tapper, "Your question is a Republican talking point" after Tapper asked whether Sanders' Medicare For All socialized health care would necessitate raising taxes on the middle class.
Later that night, when former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, one of the less loopy candidates, criticized Warren on the massive government spending that the Green New Deal would bring, she promised there is going to be a "$23 trillion worldwide market" in fighting global warming and charged: "What you want to do instead is find the Republican talking point of a made-up piece of some other part and say, 'Oh, we don't really have to do anything.'".
Wednesday night, California Sen. Kamala Harris responded, "We cannot keep with the Republican talking points on this," when asked about making employer-based health insurance against the law.
Several of her rivals, including Biden, fell over themselves assuring viewers they weren't guilty of appropriating any GOP talking points.
Later, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker lamented in regard to decriminalizing border crossings by aliens that "We are playing into Republican hands and they're trying to divide us against each other." Any lack of unanimity on government solutions for everything apparently must be the work of the opposing party.
