Mitt Romney despised Reagan, and left the party when Reagan won the nomination, just like when he and his dad stormed off the convention floor to protest Goldwater winning that nomination.

Left the party, that is amazing.

That's the dirty little secret about the moderates and their holier than thou talk about party unity. They flap their gums about compromise to get their guy elected but when the candidate is a conservative, all bets are off. The "moderates" are the true puritanical voters and they reserve their right to compromise with their friends on the left.

I could name a half dozen moderates who are in office because conservatives compromised off the top of my head. You'd be hard pressed to find a handful of conservatives in office with the help of moderates.
