As a spanish speaker I can tell you that you can say either "la diferencia entre el partido demócrata y el republicano en los Estados Unidos" or "la diferencia entre demócratas y republicanos en los Estados Unidos". Those are the ways we refer to both parties in Spain, so if you want to write the plural you don't have to write "partidos republicanos", just "republicanos" cause the former would sound a little weird.

... la diferencia de los partidos democrático demócrata y republicano

The English sounds a bit odd to me- did you mean the difference between the parties.

If so, personally I would have said:

...la diferencia entre el partido democrático y el (partido) republicano

The second partido need not be repeated.

I am a learner also and would be interested in hearing other input regarding other ways to do it. I honestly do not know how to do it the way you are trying to.

Your English is better and it follows that the Spanish is also. - Daniela2041, Dec 13, 2016
Thanks, Daniela. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 13, 2016
I changed to "demoócrata" after reviewing it a bit more. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 13, 2016

democráticos (o demócratas -some prefer this) y republicanos These have to agree with "partidos."

This is the literal translation. A Spanish speaker would say it the way that Bosquederoble did.
