Tuesday’s runoff pits two factions of the Republican Party against each other in one of the reddest states in the country, with Guest defending the Reagan-era GOP aimed at promoting fiscal restraint, and Cassidy—albeit in a somewhat half-hearted manner—championing an emerging family-oriented economic populism aimed at curbing what he calls the “destruction of the American family.”

Funny how liberal media portrays anyone who is to the right of a communist as “conservative”.
