The five components within the Republican Party

I posted this diagram earlier this year. I'm re-posting to both point out something we will discuss later this semester - that the two major political parties are not monolithic, but contain different groups within them, and they do not always agree on issues or candidates.

The graph shows which Republican candidates are allied with which group or groups. This should help us understand some of the strategies each of the candidates are developing and how they hope to make their way to the party's nomination.
