Sophie's Choice. If the GOP tries to be a legitimate political party and work in good faith with the democratically elected president, they'll enrage the base and get themselves teabagged. They also risk the teabaggers splitting off into a third party, which would destroy the GOP for good. Since midterms are base elections, they'll face no immediate consequences for their actions. They chose short term satisfaction over long term viability. The fact that they're in such gerrymandered districts that they'll only lose the House in a wave probably isn't helping give them a sense of urgency either. But that only lasts until 2022, not forever.
