Why do you suppose these statistics are true?
Rank and File Republicans:
When a committee recommendation and the House Republican Alliance (HRA) recommendation differed, the rank and file (non leadership) Republicans followed the HRA on 87% of the votes.
When the committee and the NH Liberty Alliance (NHLA) differed, rank and file (non leadership) Republicans followed the NHLA on 100% of the votes.
Leadership vs. HRA and NHLA
When a committee recommendation and the HRA recommendation differed, members of Leadership followed the HRA on just 27% of the votes.
When the committee and the NHLA differed, members of Leadership followed the NHLA on just 25% of the votes.
So, who are more faithful to the Republican Platform? Not the Leadership, fer sure. Is anyone surprised, given the history of the NH Speaker of the House Shawn Jasper as a Democrat lackey to obtain his perch last go round?
