Pretty sure one of Alinsky's principles is to run democrats on both sides of an election, that way it doesn't matter who wins. That's what the majority of this is. 90 percent of elected Republicans are infiltrators who only vote Republican once in awhile to maintain their cover or on "symbolic" wins that have no teeth when it comes to advancing a Republican agenda. As long as the candidate doesn't appear trans or with a gay lover in public, nobody bothers to vet candidates as long as they read from the Bible on the campaign trail. Once they're a "red" incumbent in a "red" state they can stay there indefinitely
