"The Republican Party is in a horrible, poorly united state; but, I don't see it disappearing in the near future. Remember: Republicans control the house. They would not do so if the party is on its death knell.
The Republicans can skate by with a lack of a platform as long as Democrats remain disagreeable in their platform. Obamacare is guaranteed to give Republicans the ammunition they need to live another day. If the Republican Party falls apart, it will be from an ideological schism and not because the lack of popular support. Not many people have supported Republicans for years; but, there are still many people who hate the Democrats enough to vote for any opposition regardless of platform."
I understand what you're saying but I still feel that the party is on the way out. It would have to drastically change and it doesn't appear to want to. I think we're going to see some hail mary passes and then failure. They're the last breath of an America that isn't straight/white/male/conservative oriented anymore. They haven't changed with the times. Obviously it isn't going to be the next election but probably within a decade something will happen to them.
