If I have to spell it out a little more clearly......
I have never 'been' any party, although I happen to have Republican on my voter card, and did when I saw many things the way the Democrats of years ago used to look at things. (They still try to talk the talk, but they no longer look out for the little guy.)
Donald Trump is not a Republican, either. Although he had to run within the umbrella of that party to win. He wouldn't have stood a chance of nomination as a Dim running against the Holy Chosen One, Hillary.... and no Independent is ever going to win anything.
So, I would never have expected to see him say much good about either of the big parties. At that time, the Republicans were as blind and stupid as the Dims have now become, thinking God expected them to vote for His chosen party.
And as for spotting a blood sucker... that has nothing to do with party affiliation. I wouldn't vote for a Republican wanting to take the money from ANY hard-working American, and give it to lazy, useless, no account bums who want everything for free.
