They have painting themselves into a corner. They have long since kicked out all the moderates (read- reasonable) so they are left w/ a sycophantic echo chamberIt all comes down to whether the party can evolve...right now, it seems they are regressing as the party has been taken over by the 35% who are radical conservative
I also believe the party is not being helped by the rightwing media which does not allow them to compromiseThere are basically no adults left in the room.
They have taken a "take no prisoners" approach
A win/win solution is unacceptable because it allows the other side to win also
If Republicans get 65% of what they want...they still consider it a loss
As a result, Republicans have no major wins in the last 8 years. Even after taking both the House and Senate, they still can't win because they refuse to compromise
They would rather get nothing than allow Democrats to get anything
There are basically no adults left in the room.
