It always makes me nervous when I hear GOP losing seats. My hope is that the context is that it meant that those seats did not go to Democrats.

This is Republicans vs Republicans.

The headline is VERY misleading.

Idaho is solidly Republican but, as is often the case, RINOs and soft core types tend to settle into power and want to be praised by the news media for making nice with the Dems, teacher unions, and progressives. These primary results show strong pushback from conservatives and seem to be part of such a trend nationally in Tuesday’s elections.

We need a scorecard from someone who knows. Were these a bunch of RINOs who got taken out?

Lots of people from the Left Coast moving to Idaho. Hope Idaho has not been Californicated.

In a place with a history of hate, an unlikely fight against GOP extremism (WaPo, May 20)

North Idaho has beaten the far right before. Now renegade Republicans are seeking to root it out of their own party, with a crucial test in Tuesday’s primary.

Looks like the "renegades" (RINOs) lost bigly! 🤣🤣🤣

It appears the Republican voters in Idaho have discovered they have the power to limit legislators’ terms by voting them out in primaries.

Elections are term limits.
