The Republican Party has neither the means nor the will to discipline wayward members. Can you imagine any Democrat representative departing from orthodoxy and succeed in evading the ideological gulag?
If one explores the Democrats power structure as outlined by David Horowitz one sees that a Democrat Representative or Senator has very little option but to follow the party line. Hence, we get Democrats from red states supporting Obamacare time and again. If the elected Democrat departs from orthodoxy he will lose funding, he will be primaried, his adversary will be financed, he will lose commission chairmanships, he will be shunned, and he will not find a sinecure in the academic/Government/media/ complex after he is ejected from office.
If one looks at the control, the very sinister tentacles, with which George Soros exerts such a controlling influence on the Democrats and their media, one can begin to understand much of their success in recent years.
The Republican Party cannot be more adrift. It has neither accommodated the participation of the grassroots nor has it effective top-down management by the establishment Rinos. It's like a football team without a quarterback or an army without a general.
We are naked before our enemies; we have no means of enforcing discipline of the ranks; we do not heed our base and we certainly do not respect our titular leaders.
