Pissing off their base, they try to move left during elections and don't score anyone from the Democrats while insuring their base will stay home on election day, something I was tempted to do when I was a Republican during the McCain/Obama election, both options were atrocious.
The Republican party "today" has a wider range of 'conservatism' to satisfy and it's not really possible with a single candidate, IMO.
