The extreme right pandering to the evangelicals I would consider to be Huckabee, Santorum, Carson, and Cruz. Now with that being said, all of the reps candidates need to pay some lip service to that demographic to get the nomination.
I just really think the country as a whole has moved away from that ultra conservative stance. A lot of conservatives may still be fiscally conservative, but a many have become more socially liberal. Part of the reason same sex marriage has gained so much traction in recent years.
Therefore it's my opinion, that if the reps elect and ultra religious right wing candidate, they're going to lose the general election. I'll be honest too, I'm very interested in who the reps nominate, as well who else the dems can field. Not really a fan of Hillary.
