Why has the selection process for speaker of the House as well as the Republican Presidential race been so heated when so many Republicans agree on so many issues?
"I see this as sort of a division over purity. And also a kind of emphasis on using the primary process to kind circumvent party elite," says Marquette University political science professor Julia Azari.
Azari is a professor of political science at Marquette University, and she recently wrote an article about the Republican dynamic on the Mischiefs of Faction blog.
