Conservatives must not simply surrender the Democratic Party to the left. While it is unlikely that a conservative could win the Democrats' presidential nomination, conservatives could win the Democratic primary for other offices in conservative states.
There are many states with open primaries in which Democrats can vote for Republicans and Republicans can vote for Democrats. In half of the states, anyone can vote in the Democratic primary (Republicans have slightly fewer open primaries). If a conservative runs for the Democratic nomination, then conservatives of all partisan affiliations can unite behind him.
