    I think the question comes though, where do we draw the line?

I think the question comes though, why do we draw the line so demonstrably further for Democrats?

    I think a good rule of thumb is, the more power or influence a person has, the higher the standards we should hold them to.

In this case, it's "the more power or influence a person used to have."

People really want their heroes to be Superman and their enemies to be Lex Luthor. It's a manichean stupidity that shouldn't be entertained.
