You may need to do some absorbing yourself:

The far left usually votes in the Demoratic candidate and the far right usually votes in the Republican candidate. The sooner you absorb that, the better.

The 'extremist' show up and vote in Primary election and the general. The 'not so extreme' hardly ever shows up to a primary and can miss the general, if the lines are long, it is raining, or they have something better to do.

I don't understand why it is so hard for people to understand that you have to keep your base happy. If you make the base digtruntled and you don't want to make them happy, then you better start building another base. If the Republicans do that and they do not support Life, Guns, and God this Conservative leaves the Party because I will not compromise these principles.

Fully absorbed - now what about the other 90% of us?

I understand that fine. It's just that the nuttiest 3% has no moral right to jack things up for the other 97%.
