PACS: Define “hardline” and “mainstream”

In your June 24 article about political PACs, you compare “hardline Republicans” to “mainstream Republicans.” As stated in the article, your idea of a “hardline Republican” is Jordan Redman, who supports the Republican platform. Your idea of a “mainstream Republican” is Christa Hazel who is a Biden supporter and member of Women for Biden, according to signs in her front yard. 

How in the world could you define a Biden supporter and others who agree with her ideals as “any kind” of Republican? Those who support the NIR, like Christa, have values that are in line with the Democrat Party platform not the Republican Party platform. 

Also, I look forward to your forthcoming article about Democrat PACs and NIR and where their money comes from? I’m interested to see how you define a “hardline Democrat” as compared to a “ mainstream Democrat”?
