As time goes on more republican/conservatives that want a truly free republic are seeing the party as filled with liars and frauds. Look at the last election in N.J. for a perfect example of how the party screwed over one of their own. A conservative catholic and everyone ignored him and at worst helped him get defeated. Even the national party ignored him and did not help him raise funds. You can get upset at libertarians all you want but we did not help kill a christian conservative who had a chance to take over N.J.
What happens when liars and frauds with power, risk losing that power because of their misdeeds?
They pass anti-freedom unconstitutional anti bill-of-rights legislation, that can be used to deprive liberty loving Americans of their freedom, and the ability to challenge the status quo.
