Moderates aren't going to give you everything you want. But we're talking about California. Let that sink in for a moment.
California.
If you don't want to become like the Democrats, consider this. The Democrats have stopped running DINO moderates in the south because they want to let out big YEEAGHs, be themselves, stand up for principles, and so forth. As a result, the Democrats have gotten almost completely wiped out down there.
Republicans won't make the same mistakes in blue states. We do our best, even if it means voting for a RINO from time to time.
I understand your point, but you didn't answer the question. Never mind.
