What do you mean by "hard right"? Our terms might be off.
I don't think it's the "hard right" doing what you've described so much as the folks invested in perpetuating the party more than the ideals they want to see implemented.
They seem to actually be more centrist in what they are willing to advocate for which makes it easier for them to pander to people comfortable with government expansion.
And I think the panderers will abandon the evangelicals the minute they don't deliver enough votes to win, which might be soon.
