How would you fix the Republican Party?

[The Mikado]

Is the Republican Party truly in danger?  I doubt it.  The utter clusterf**k that is the US economy is pinned squarely on Obama now, rightly or wrongly (wrongly), and the GOP had a deathgrip on one of the two houses of Congress and can and have ground Democratic Presidents to a total halt in terms of agenda.  None of this will change if Clinton wins in 2016, she will flounder as ineffectually as Obama has now that the GOP has realized that they can just...not pass anything.

The problem is that you guys are viewing demographics detached from the broader national scene.  There's no sign whatsoever that anything is improving, the USA is going to war in the Middle East again, eventually the "throw the bums out" mood is going to pose problems for Democratic presidential candidates even if the GOP has alienated large chunks of the country.  If Hillary Clinton does lose in 2016, it will be entirely on the backs of Obama fatigue and disillusionment with the Democratic Party, a powerful force that can go a long way to suppressing voter turnout.

That being said...if the problems with the modern GOP have a serious point, it's the obvious one that the modern GOP is absolutely unsuited to be a majority party rather than an opposition party.  This last sentence probably sounds incredibly obvious even to the Republicans on the site.  With a great many off the leash Congressmen on the GOP side getting reelected without any support from the national party due to their R+40 districts, they'll have no incentive to pass the agenda of President Christie or whatever, and there's no party discipline re: respecting the party leadership.  When random GOP Congressmen and maybe even Senators (Ted Cruz) spend the first few months of a President Christie's tenure bashing the president for being insufficiently conservative, the problems of the modern GOP will become obvious.
