Most of the “GOP Candidates” are de-facto Dems. It’s their job to divide and conquer for the glorious revolution. Therefore, in this context, define “we”.
And no, most of the GOP candidates are not "de facto" Dems. Most of them are not conservatives, but you can track votes and still see substantial differences by party. But I won't bother because I know where this is going.
Have fun losing with whomever your anointed candidate is, either in the primaries or in the general. The demographic changes in this country leave Republicans only a narrow window to win an election, and we'd need to have a unified party to have even a shot.
And there's about zero chance of that.
