I see three possibilities:

1) The elections are rigged and voter input doesn’t really matter.
2) It’s not a two-party system and the GOP isn’t trying to win.
3) The GOP just makes bad choices because it’s unlucky.

I see a fourth:

4) Voters really are that stupid.

I see a fourth. The electorate is changing along with cultural and societal norms.
Voters under the age of 40 have a much different worldview than Boomers and Gen X. That gives them a different set of values. Those younger voters vote for their values.

4th possibility- GOP is a minority party. Sort of like the communists were in 1950.
