You don't see how going further to the right (one can only guess how) takes the bite out of fear mongering Trump?

Isn't that exactly what the definition of a devil's bargain is? You really expect folks to take a bet when all you offer is heads you win and tails I loose?

What is going to attract these unhappy with Trump TeaPubliKLANS? These folks who have been able to stick with these racist, bigoted, greedy ass world burners anyway? What are you going to lure these people in with now?

One doesn't have to be any purist to have little to nothing further to concede to the right or to believe we are past time instead be pushing back strongly in the other direction because that is what is needed.

The strategy is not really that sound unless the actual intent is simply to move the party to the corporate owned right because there is no evidence or much reason to believe in such an electoral tactic. It is foolhardy.
