They both claim loyalty to the foundational principles of their parties.
They have both criticised their party leadership to excess.
They are both seen by their parties as turncoats.
Just because one has a nasally twang, and seems assured to break out in a fire and brimstone sermon doesn't change their basic similarities.
I used to think a lot of Gergen. It is confounding that just because you and I reach different conclusions, you must accuse me of "not knowing of his work."
That is an incorrect assumption.

Lash, you could just as easily say:
They are both men.
They both put their pants on one leg at a time.
They both are involved in politics.
Both are American citizens.
