He was always a mostly good teamplayer for the Dem party, he just wasn't as extreme as some of the other Dems (like Biden) on issues like the Iraq war and so on.
That is why it is amazing how hostile the Democrats were towards him, the only huge change would be that campaign consultants would receive less money from his campaign, since he mostly had his own people (who also didn't take 15% for every single ad run). But that was more than enough, direct $$$ for consultants is a huge part of the Dem grift.
