HK: GOP Convention opts for small tent Republicanism

This Convention leaves little doubt it prefers purity over party-building but that has not always been the case

You can put a ribbon on the 2018 State Republican convention now and one thing is clear. The “small tent” Republicans carried the day.

With the exception of a chairman battle which typically represents the soul of the party for the next two years, this was more a celebration of Donald Trump and “party unity” than growing an even more formidable Republican Party of Texas.

This year there was more rhetoric about stopping the blue wave and George Soros and less about the challenges facing a Party that should never stop its effort to build its ranks despite its current formidable numerical success.
