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
