I have an uneasy feeling that the Republicans are trying to throw the fight. Why else would they deliberately alienate so many different groups? Hell, they're trying to alienate even the voters themselves with all their suppression attempts!
I can imagine one motivation explaining why they would want to lose the election but it's too crazy [[in a conspiracy theorist sense) to mention even here. I'll just note that there has been a surprising amount of unprecedented political maneuvering lately. That doesn't sound very "conservative" [[in the literal sense) to me.
