Is Obama trying to destroy the Democrat party?
No, Obama is not trying to destroy the Democrat party.
But he managed to do it anyway.
Liberals (in both parties) always do this, and it always surprises them that this is the result. They put excessive liberalism into place, and the American people don't want it. So the American people vote Democrats out of office in droves, and the Democrat party is left with no candidates for President, for Governor, or even for Congress. And so they are out of power for years, until people finally forget that they gained power before by lying, disingenuousness, and making promises they couldn't deliver on.
Liberal Jimmy Carter thought that being nice to foreign oil producers would get them to be nice to the U.S. So they jacked up oil prices and manipulated the market while Carter was waiting for them to start being nice, oil prices soared, they became billionaires, and energy prices tripled. Carter also applied his theories to foreign relations, being nice to middle Eastern ayatollahs and waiting for them to be nice to him, and they attacked and embassy (sound familiar?), took dozens of U.S. citizens as prisoners, and held them until Reagan was inaugurated.
Quasi-liberal George H.W. Bush signed new taxes into law after promising he wouldn't, and signed unconstitutional Federal "gun control" legislation into law. He wound up being one of the few sitting Presidents ever voted out of office during peacetime and expanding economy.
Billary tried to put Socialized Health Care into effect, but made the mistake of writing a book about it and publishing it, thinking the American people would be as happy with their socialistic programs as they were. At the next midterm election, Democrats were booted out of office in record numbers, leaving nothing but a few old, tired also-rans to compete against George W. Bush. Only the Republicans choosing the old, tired Bob Dole to run against Billary's second term, let them get re-elected.
Obama implemented Socialized Medicine II, aka Obamacare by lying about it containing no taxes, reducing costs, and people keeping their doctors. And he tried once again to remake the middle East in his own image, thinking an "Arab Spring" would cause all those governments to start being nice to us. Now terrorists have taken over government after government in the region, killing and destroying thousands and plunging the entire region into chaos and outright war, while a resurgent communist Russia has resumed its decades-old quest to gobble up countries by force while the U.S. does nothing.
At the same time, people working for Obama have broken so many laws, told so many lies, concealed and destroyed so much evidence, and used the power of govt to spy on and target so many of their political opponents, that comparisons to banana republics and Richard Nixon are hitting home, making Nixon look like a Cub Scout by comparison. While Obama insists time and again he didn't know anything about any of it until he read about it later in the newspapers. In two consecutive midterm elections, so many Democrats have been booted out of office as a result, there is literally nobody left to run for President except one of the principal liars, lawbreakers, and evidence-destroyers.
None of them "intended" to destroy their own party with these actions. But that has been the result, every time. Liberal never "intend" for their policies to fail. But they fail anyway, every time. Because unlike conservatism, the basic ideas of big-govt liberalism are completely contrary to human nature. And human nature always wins.
One thing it isn't, is a "game", that we can stop and put away after seeing who wins, with no further repercussions.
And Democrats will now do the same in 2016.

No, it is a contest between two different philosophies. One that promotes prosperity freedom and personal responsibility, and one that represses them as we have seen for the last six years. And those opposing philosophies can promote prosperity or destroy it... and take the country with it.

That's what the leaders of the Whig party thought in the mid 1800s.
Unless they get so fed up with their own party that they stay home and don't vote, as the Democrats did in 1948, 1980, and 2000; and the Republicans did in 1992, 2008, and 2012, when their party didn't offer what they wanted.
And Democrats will now do the same in 2016.
