Do you think a republican could *ever* get elected while espousing pro-choice views? Or supporting Trans kids playing sports? Or raising the minimum wage? Or would their base label them a liberal RINO and feed them to the wolves?

This commitment to purity is why they've consistently succeeded in pushing their ideological project forward despite losing about half their elections. They'd rather lose an election and be mad for a few years than give an inch on their ideological priorities, and that lets them inch inexorably toward their goals.
