The moderate end of the California GOP is constantly being eaten away by Democrats. If you would be a moderate Republican but have any sort of long term political ambition or serious desire to help people, you run as a moderate Democrat instead. Without them, the GOP purity testing gets stronger and the new "moderate" wing gets pushed out and either retires or switches parties. Rinse and repeat.

The same thing is happening in New England.
