Who decides who's "republican" enough?

Most of us conservatives don’t care about gay marriage or legalizing weed. At least the vast majority of conservatives under probably 40 or 50.

We just need to put a stop to SJWs and racist liberals as they are the most detrimental to our society.

Candidates choose because they are essentially forced to as a result of the basically 2 party system. Voters self-identify for various reasons but unless they are a one issue voter (ie abortion or 2A) it is likely they are not strictly liberal or conservative. You used to hear fiscal conservative/social liberal a lot, not much anymore.

It seems to me candidates, for national office at least, previously fought for the votes in the center assuming the far right and left would vote the way one would expect. Recently, I feel like, candidates pander more to the fringes and hope the center votes on which extreme they hate less.

Republicans were traditionally more like George Bush before his VP duty with Reagan. The party has been taken over by successive waves of angry former Dems. Democrats are an angry lot. Southerners brought their issues to the party as did the union men who lost their jobs. Libertarians are also angry lot and brought their nonsense. Those of us who are moderates are in a bad spot. I live in a split congressional district so we go from R to D and back every four years or so. Moderates piss off everyone.
