There is a fine line and some walk it better than others. I think it's always ultimately counterproductive to trash the party you belong to (if you plan on staying in that party and want it to win and be in power). The best pols find ways to accentuate their own brand without attacking the overarching brand they belong to.

TBC, I'm glad Golden is in Congress and not the NASCAR guy he beat.

I don't know. Considering that Senator Brown of Ohio was one of the best at that and he lost, maybe Golden wouldn't have had a chance if he hadn't trashed his party as hard as he did. Look at Tester's results, too.
