A proud "Goldwater Republican" would never settle for less Hillary.

It was your premise, not mine.

Not looking for an argument. Maybe my post wasn't clear.

Another try; all the expressed Republican hopefuls (Rudy, McCain, Romney, etc.)are in my opinion nothing more than Hillary Lite.

What would we win if we elected any of these candidates?

IMO, even if we won, we'd loose by moving the entire country to the left.
