Those who have tried to abandon the fringe are called Never Trumpers. If you run in a GOP primary and try to appeal to the center, you lose.

If you looked at Hillary v. Jeb, which was the race we thought we'd get in 2016, other than in regard to health care policy, what was the big difference?

The Republican Party gave you the invasion of Iraq and the 2007 financial crisis. Granted, it had some help with the latter. But let's pretend the only difference was the invasion of Iraq.
