How would a GOP primary between Old School Republican and ExtremeConservative go? One is a pragmatic, fiscally/economically center-right Republican with moderate social positions against an unabashedly conservative ideological warrior.

In the era of Trump, both of these types of Republicans, traditional establishment types, and movement conservatives of the Tea Party mold, have been pushed into the background.

How would a race between two candidates from these wings of the party play out?

Discuss with maps, if you so please.

But would you consider ExtremeConservative and Trump to be ideological equivalents? If anything, Trump's economic views/social views are more similar to those of OSR than ExtremeConservative.

Best Case Scenario for ExtremeConservative


Best Case Scenario for Old School Republican


Likely Result

ExtremeConservative, though very off-putting to coastal/suburban/moderate Republicans with his positions on abortion and other social issues, manages to eek out a win with a focus on bread and butter conservative issues that rallies the heartland states in his favor. OSR does well with blue state Republicans and suburban Republicans in states like Arizona and Virginia.
