2016 and 2020 are locks for Hillary. By 2024, AZ, TX and GA at least will all be solidly Democratic,  making it impossible for a Republican to win the White House.

I'm thinking they should cut their losses and redirect all resources to trying to hold the UT legislature. Even that will be tough, because that state is rapidly trending D.

You're neglecting the solid pro-Republican trend that happened in 2012.  While it wasn't enough to let the GOP win in 2012, by 2024, extrapolating from the 2008 -> 2012 swing, one gets the following 2024 map, with Utah as the GOP's best state at 102% of the vote.

I don't even think the GOP will have ballot access by 2016.  They're better off forming a coalition with a legitimate party, like the Constitution Party.

Oh yes or perhaps the rent is too damn high party. They're in soooooo much better shape than the Republican Party who controls the House, won't lose the House in the next few elections, and have a decent chance to pick up the Senate next year. Not to mention, they got 47% in the most recent presidential election. I mean we've never seen this before. There's never been a candidate in the 30's to get only 8 electoral votes. We've never had a party lose 49 out of 50 states and ruled them out. Where the Republicans are at now is soooooo much worse than the above named scenarios.
