In Idaho everyone knows that to be win you must run as a Republican so many times Democrats run as Republicans to get elected. Really! I can name some who actually were registered Democrats until they decided to run for the legislature.

I also believe the open primary is a problem. Democrats actually cross over to help us pick the Republican candidates.

The GOP is NOT wholely a CONSERVATIVE party.

I know this, but actually the Idaho Republican Platform is pretty conservative, and we Idaho Republicans would appreciate elected officials who respect the platform. I would especially be happy if they respected the Constitution. I can tell you that no one who admits they believes in gun control could win here.

As I'm unfamiliar with Idaho politics, I'll defer to your knowledge. Still and all, don't judge other places, nor other people, by your own view of things Idaho. K ? :-)
