Republicans prepare for confab

Two years removed from a fractured confab that left most party business undone, hundreds of Idaho Republicans will gather this week in Nampa for the party’s state convention. This year’s convention theme is “Faith, Family, Freedom … Firearms!” Damond Watkins, a longtime GOP organizer and fundraiser from Idaho Falls who represents Idaho on the Republican National Committee, said the state convention plays a major role in setting the party’s agenda. The convention allows GOP faithful a forum to organize for November’s elections, name delegates for the upcoming Republican national convention and elect a slate of party officers to two-year terms/Clark Corbin, Idaho Education News.

Question: Do you think Idaho Repubicans can make nice this year? Or will we see another battle royale?
