They promised to hurt the right people. The kind of people who will vote for them don't follow up on voting records, they just watch pundits or read web news that reaffirms their point of view and feelings.

The reality is a small percent of the voting public actually vote in primaries and those who do, on the right especially, tend to be the most extreme variety.

I may be the only one but kind of makes me sad for people like that.
