Cresent Hardy is the obvious example. Ed Gillespie came close. Scott Brown is a good one.

But Brown and Gillespie weren't really sacrificial lambs, because both were nominated by electorates that were clearly prioritizing electability when they could have picked more extreme choices.

Joe Walsh in Illinois was a good example, though I wish he would have lost so Tammy Duckworth wouldn't have been able to win that seat after redistricting and because Walsh is a massive hack and HP.
