Republicans want to hold their seats in moderate districts that can flip between Republican and Democratic. Their goal is to maintain or expand their leads in the house and senate and take the White House where they will be able to whatever they want for two years.

Anything they do now faces a veto, so why not pretend some of their people are moderates so they can win those 50/50 districts in 2016?
