So this sort of thing doesn't bother Republicans? What exactly does bother them?

"Horror spread quickly after the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times reported this week that Republicans appear unable to force Jones off the ballot.

“I condemn this man in the strongest possible terms," said Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. “The Illinois Republican Party and our country have no place for Nazis like Arthur Jones," said party Chairman Tim Schneider."

Where exactly did you get that this "doesn't bother Republicans"?

He is still a republican isn't he?

I'm not American, so I could be wrong on this, but would they have the ability to do so? My impression was always that the party doesn't necessarily have the power to prevent someone from being a registered Republican, or for running under a party's banner (outside of being challenged in a primary, which doesn't seem to be happening here?)

Probably the DNC, CNN or MSNBC

>> What exactly does bother them?

Lossing elections?
