Peas in the Same Pod

While doing some research for an article, I had to do some reading in the 2016 Republican Party platform. I noticed this statement of the Republicans when Obama was the president. It reads almost exactly like something Democrats say today about Trump:

The current Administration has exceeded its constitutional authority, brazenly and flagrantly violated the separation of powers, sought to divide America into groups and turn citizen against citizen. The President has refused to defend or enforce laws he does not like, used executive orders to enact national policies in areas constitutionally reserved solely to Congress, made unconstitutional “recess” appointments to Senate-confirmed positions, directed regulatory agencies to overstep their statutory authority, and failed to consult Congress regarding military action overseas. He has changed what John Adams called “a government of laws and not of men” into just the opposite.

Democrats and Republicans are two peas in the same pod.
