You feel the Republican party holds itself to higher standards?
Trump is the leader of your party. There is nothing about him that is held to high standards, an alley cat has higher standards than he does. He is a man that said "not getting a sexually transmitted disease was his Vietnam war", he's committed adultery on each of his THREE wives, he's been sued for everything from fraud to racist housing practices to rape by a teenager. The people your party chooses to represent you don't just fail, this president never even tried.
I am downright sick of the right claiming a higher moral ground when I see atrocities coming from the "higher standards" of that party; making it harder for rape victims to prosecute, wanting to kick children out of the only country they have known, trying to make it legal to discriminate against others based on their race again.

My party does in deeds everything that your party claims to stand for in words. There is no moral highground in the republican party
