Plessy v. Ferguson was "settled law" until it wasn't. What a meaningless phrase.

My in-laws church had a gay pastor who also rescued cats and does a lot of community work; a very good person. While I don't buy into religion; if I were to, I'd need a leader who walks the walk.

For the most part, true. But there was still a pretty significant minority who didn't.

And I don't mean to get on their cases, except just to make the point that we all like to think of ourselves as too clever to be duped, and that is exactly the frame of mind that makes us the most dupeable. Um, dupeablest. Be smart enough to question your judgment.

The premise that anyone could be kicked out of the D or R party is ridiculous - party affiliation is self-selected. A party can distance itself from a candidate but it can't say "no, you are not a registered D or R or I". It doesn't work like that.
