Interesting, right? The extreme right was allowed to pull the party direction so that moderate republicans became RINO's (way to go to offend your own party members) and blue dog democrats really didn't see much going on other than the lunacy going on in the GOP for the last decade. If the GOP meant to sideline everyone that didn't march 100% with the furthest right party purity, well, mission accomplished. That's a lot of moderate voters. We shall see how it turns out at the polls in a few months.
