Well, off the top of my head:

1. How did someone like this get the party nomination in the first place?

2. Did they only decide to invoke this "loyalty pledge" issue once they realized what this kid was? When was that? Why did it take so long? Did they take any legal action to get the kid off the ballot?

3. How did he get elected with that background?

4. Notwithstanding the fact that the kid has some completely abhorrent views, where the heck does ANYONE get off overruling the electorate in a democracy?
