This impact was not limited to partisan diehards alone.
And, the word "diehard" has two negative parts but turns out to be positive compared to its antonym "pushover".
Because primary voters are often partisan diehards who care a great deal about policy positions, they prefer candidates with non-centrist positions.
In earlier periods of resistance, diehards, for all their inability to win the party over, had at least managed to unite in defiance of it.
That these were contained is to be explained by the erosion and disappearance of the organizational advantages enjoyed by the diehards twelve years before.
Since that time hostility has passed to a truce and a truce to the development of fruitful co-operation, not without a few continuing skirmishes by diehards on both sides.
These diehards remained the last bastion of reaction, believing protection necessary because they assumed, as others had before them, that artisanal production was necessarily less efficient than industry.
Business interests, many of which had already adapted to the transfer of power, were reluctant to jeopardize their future trading prospects by an alliance with diehards.
