There is a moment in the 2008 HBO movie “Recount” that illuminates an essential difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Warren Christopher, a courtly former secretary of state, represents the Democratic candidate Al Gore.
Democrats litigate; Republicans fight.
Democrats float toward an almost helium-infused state of high-mindedness; Republicans see politics as a no-holds-barred cage match.
But given the party’s recent history, the Democrats will probably need some CRISPR editing to their DNA.
