May be false conventional wisdom. Personally, I didn't put any stock in the 2008 election because W was so bad that even a guy named Barack Hussein Obama won after beating Hill in the primary largely on her vote for the Iraq War (she didn't actually vote to invade on the grounds W invaded, but she didn't have a profile in courage moment on the invasion either.) Further, McCain had the nomination because he stood in line for it, and pretty much sacrificed his manhood doing so.
Then in 2012, Romney did everything he could think of to alienate moderate republicans, and then the very right decried he didn't run right enough, even though he took all the very very red states.
