Everybody decided to go puritan and they decided to stay home.
Election after election has been voting for the lesser of two evils. The problem with that is that you still end up with one of the evils.
The GOP either wakes up (after their slaughter in 06 and their defeat in 08) and get back to their core, or they will continue to face future defeats.
If the GOP continues to move leftward, which they seem destined to do, they will continue to be the minority party.
The GOP seems complacent and content to be the minority party, however. They led the government most of the last decade, and they didn't do a very stellar job of it. Maybe they just want to stay the minority party -- they do seem to like it -- and the pay is the same, whether one is a minority senator or rep or a majority one.

It's time to can the old GOP and make a new party. Made up of real and actual Conservatives.
The RINOs will still cling to their GOP, but it won't be long before they have no place to go. Because not even the Democrats want their sorry spineless a$$es.

Elections have always been a battle of the lesser of two evils. Even Reagan himself wasn’t an angel. Remember amnesty? It’s either we vote for a person that agrees with us 70% of the time rather than sit home and let somebody who agrees with you 5% of the time win. We let somebody who agreed with us maybe 30% of the time win the primaries because we wanted to go puritan. We went puritan again. Now, we have somebody who agrees with us 1% of the time.
Lesser of two evils is still evil, but it’s still the lesser evil.
