Idaho GOP wraps up smooth confab
Two years after the Idaho Republican Party’s state convention degenerated into chaos, the party wrapped up a surprisingly smooth confab in Nampa on Saturday with much talk of party unity, though little enthusiasm for presidential nominee Donald Trump. 1st First District Congressman Raul Labrador, a Ted Cruz supporter who will be among Idaho’s delegates to the national GOP convention, was busy shaking hands and greeting supporters as he seeks a fourth House term. When asked if he’d like to say anything about Trump, Labrador responded with a grin, “It’s a beautiful day in Idaho, isn’t it?” When delegates were urged to rally behind Trump at the close of their morning floor session on Saturday, only a few waved signs and the cheers were noticeably muted.
