That is one of the problems they have. They have to move so far to the right in order to win the nomination that they can have trouble then moving back to the middle. They have to walk a tightrope. If they go too far to the middle they risk alienating the right wing voters. If they don't go far enough they risk losing the moderates.
The republicans could do themselves a big favor by nominating a reasonably moderate candidate, but that is not very likely to happen.
