So we have a candidate who can claim a record as a moderate. He spends years trying to convince the right-wingers that he is one of them. Meanwhile the moderates continue to have confidence in him because they assume he is merely lying to the right in order to get nominated. Once he gains the trust of the right, he then begins claiming to be a moderate again. The moderates are pleased to learn that he was lying all along, and the right-wingers have confidence in him because they believe he is lying now. So now we have a candidate who everyone believes is a liar and everyone is happy with that.
Sigh...
