The Republicans have been extremely successful. The people I'm referring to are some conservative activists who have managed to pass some planks to the state platform that are pretty extreme.

That hasn't really been a problem for Republican candidates because nobody who runs for office in this state will dare to endorse the state platform. They'd never get elected if they did.

Well, that has many on the platform-writing committee angry, and they'd like to force candidates to endorse the entire platform or get no party funding for elections.

That's self-destructive.

Oh - you're referring to the platform.
