It's more like: (trying to use simple, not accurate example here - assuming some basic core value)
Democrats believe that they should triumph over Republicans because Democrats stand for all things fair and humane. Democratic candidate A holds some views that would appear to be in opposition of those values, such as profit trumping health care, profit trumping domestic jobs, power trumping peace. Some would see that Democratic candidate A does not stand for the core Democratic values and would reject the idea of supporting that candidate. Others who are stronger in their support of Candidate A, in desperation of their belief that Candidate A represents the ideal Democrat and has the best chance to beat any Republican, will have to re-interpret what they believe to be fair and humane.
I think you and I are talking apples and oranges here.
