6. To The Republican Party he was
He was supported by the crazies and the southerners, when the party was run by the northerners like Bob Michel, and Gerry Ford.

He was the radical who couldn't win a general election, and they felt that way about him until he won the general election.

He completed the takeover of the party that Barry Goldwater first tried.
