What is a set of ideologies that a candidate could have (i.e. socially liberal, fiscally conservative, etc.) that when put together would be a surefire way for them to lose an election?

Hawkish libertarian(but pro-life) would probably be unpopular

Heh, minus the pro-life part that could possibly describe me, especially a few years ago.

Strongly socially conservative on every issue except abortion (staunchly pro-choice), anti-globalization in general but for free trade, hawkish but not pro-Israel, corporatist and pro-establishment, but also for increased regulation, supports privatizing education but is against vouchers... anyone here still willing to support such a candidate?

How about this candidate?

Is a racist but believe slavery was a dereliction of the white man's burden, so he supports slavery reparations but wants to deport all Blacks to Liberia. Fervent population control fanatic (mandatory abortion unless permission is granted by the federal government to get pregnant, except the elites of course), Supports legalizing all hard drugs (but wants to ban all treatment on social Darwinist grounds), Wants to limit franchise to millionaires, In favor of annexing Mexico for cheaper labor, classical colonialist. Atheist, but favors a state run church for the peasants.
Ideology: lets just call it "aristocratic nihilism"

Supports abortions on demand in the last month of pregnancy, anti SSM, wants to ban all guns, Ayn Rand supporter. Supports a 6 month non-renewable visa that allows any foreigner to work any job in the US without any minimum wage. But opposes any pathway to citizenship.
