Ultimately if you're not going to win, its better to lose in the primary.
Did you not watch the primaries? Romney totally went all batshit conservative to court the batshit vote, a.k.a. the Republican base. He flip-flopped on many positions he had held previously in order to appear to play the part of the raving-mad conservative that hates immigrants and is sick of people getting free shit. And the fact that someone whose own program was the very model for affordable health care act and the won the nomination on a platform of repealing that act just shows how dumb Republicans can be.
But I digress. Romney ran nowhere near moderation, and that is what lost him the general election. And the fact is, anyone that appears halfway sensible has a snowball's chance in hell of receiving the Republican nomination.
