Reply #26: I really don't think the Republican party is really integrating their grips into the platform.

Many of their more radical gripes (getting rid of the Fed) are not going anywhere. Other gripes are more general (too much spending, etc. etc.), and these general gripes are already in the platform. If anything, the Republican party is just pretending to not ignore the tea party people. There are going to be primary challenges, but there isn't much the Republican party establishment can do about primary challenges anyway.
