Why they pander to the religious right, I have no idea. Its not like that group is suddenly going to go Democrat any time soon. |
You have a primary system that gets the social conservatives coming out to vote for. Drop the stand on social issues, and the end result is that you don't get sufficient turnout. Their primary system is going to produce individuals who can't win. They pander to the religious right, because it helped them win elections.
