When it is like that then yes I think country should be over party. But when you have one party actually trying to drum up any kind of lies and accusations to hurt the other party, then the party should stick together. 

This I agree with.  It looks like the Repubs are giving more weight to the seriousness of the accusation rather than the fact that there is nothing there.

Personally, I think party over country is what is wrong with the state of politics in this country and one of the big reasons I have never formally joined any party.  In my opinion, much of this can be traced to the rise of the DNC and RNC and their influence and control over politics at all levels as well as the increase in the career politician.  So now we get this seesaw effect, when one party controls some or all of Congress, or the Presidency, and do whatever they want to implement their agendas.  I really don't care what happens to any politician that doesn't support Trump, let them be challenged in a primary, or vote them out, that is for their districts or states to decide, and one of the reasons I always laugh when someone brings up a national poll touting how low an approval rating Congress has.  That is so irrelevant as Congress people only have to please a small population of Americans, not the entire country. 

I totally agree with this, and I never will join a party, but I also believed (up until several years ago) that dwindling of religion would likewise create more logical people. It hasn't.

 

Even if we get rid of parties, the way people are magnetized (by their own stupidity) to marketing campaigns and personas means we'd be back at step 1.

How ironic.
