The Republican Party has never been this narrow, litmus-test type party.

I'm a Republican. I'm probably not the cookie-cutter Republican that fits the litmus test of Republican Party politics. But I don't want to be that.

The Republican Party will never again be a majority party until we regain the confidence of the American people. I believe there is room for disagreement within the party, and we should not have litmus tests.

This is a good litmus test for us. It will tell us how much work we have to do, what sort of reception we're going to get from the community.

We knew coming in that this would be a litmus test for our team. Who better to see where you're at then against the team favored to win? Chesterton had a really good meet, but we didn't just roll over for them.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.
