They should just nominate Dan Cathy, Chick Fil A CEO, for president in 2016. Judging from all the cars at his restaurants yesterday, he has a lot of support already.
Lol.
But seriously though, as my esteemed colleague Snowstalker pointed out in a chat convo, "If the Democrats survived the Civil War and the Republicans survived the Great Depression..." c'mon. At a point where Republicans control the House of Representatives and their nominee is facing an incumbent, there's no call for saying that the GOP is going to die out.
Yes there is, Reaganite.
The GOP is so dead in a few years because of their extremism. I wouldn't be surprised if, due to GLobal Warming becoming true and Democrats making the economy truly great, that the GOP dies off by 2020 and Jon Huntsman wins the Democratic Primaries in 2020 and goes onto win a landslide election against Wyoming Lieutenant Governor Daniel Baumgardener.

Meh, they are kind of in a hole right now. Luckily for the GOP though there is a Democratic President. And, as modern US history has shown, having an opposite party incumbent in the White House is a benefit for Congress save an extreme economic catastrophe or war. Unless Barack Obama turns out to be Jesus Christ and heals the nation with his God Powered hands, the GOP will be just fine (congressionally at least).
In fact, given the correlation between Presidential and Congressional results, I would envy the situation the GOP finds themselves in. It is in their best interest to lose Presidential Elections if they continue to be successful in turning Democratic Administrations into Paper Tigers.
