I keep telling myself that every election. Respectfully, my question to you is when do we stop betting on a lame horse? The Republicans are drifting further away from conservative principles and making more compromises and it's not getting any better. They just aren't getting it.
Let’s look at the other side. What can we do to encourage the liberals to field a spoiler?

I believe the only route is the rededication of the Republican Party to its guiding principles. I agree with you that what we are hearing now from Rinos (changing the "brand" by spreading the big tent; in other words, emulate the Dems) is unacceptable to conservatives, including me. It may be that for the unforeseeable future the dumbed-down electorate will reject conservatism however it is packaged. But I'd rather we go down swinging; that is, faithful to our principles, than to be Demonrat Lite. If "The One" turns out to be the unmitigated disaster we fear he will be he may be a bigger boost to Republican (and conservative) fortunes than anything we could muster.
