'Moderate' Republicans tend to be fiscal conservatives, but social liberals. They're embarrassed by those silly religious nuts who are pro-life and anti-homosexual marriage; how gauche!
They don’t like it they can change parties. They vote left anyway.
Then they need to form their own third party, since they aren't actually one or the other.
Demcrat party for Liberal/Liberal, RINO party for Liberal/Conservative, Republican party for Conservative/Conservative.
The honest, obvious thing for them to do is leave.
