The Republicans are going to be in a tight spot regardless. The House will probably stay Republican until 2020 due to gerrymandering, but demographics are shifting against the Republicans on the national stage. Their core constituency of white male voters is shrinking due to age + immigration. Soon, they won't have any chance of electing another president unless they make compromises in order to win the Hispanic vote.

I blame the primaries for the current craziness. Only the most dedicated people bother to show up for those, and they tend to consist of the most unhinged radicals either party has to offer.
