If the GOP wants my vote, they need to find a main-stream conservative,

Very well. I think I understand your position completely. You'll know what you want when you see it, and you ain't seen it in a while.

I think the Dems understand it and see it as a wonderful oppty to divide and conquer.

I think the GOP recognizes that there is nothing they can do to recover your vote either.

So everyone takes a step left. Wonderful.

BTW, I note that you say "they need to find." Is that how it works in your mind?

If so, they haven't paid attention. Good, solid conservatives often win. East coast liberals pretending often lose. See the Club for Growth and their track record.
