Very well put.
I feel confident that there are candidates of the 135 further to the right even to the right of Tom McC. Should I waste a vote for one of those candidates?
Absolutely right. Diane Templin is probably more of a true blue conservative, if that is the only desidiratum. No chance of winning, but it it is ONLY about ideological purity, she's probably the better choice.
