Used to be that the Republican coalition was made up of free marketers, libertarians, social and religious conservatives, and national security hawks. Their commonalities, versus the Democratic Party’s coalition, made it possible for them to elide their differences. Besides, when it got right down to it, most religious and social conservatives (wrongly) didn’t see any particular threat to their values from capitalism.

The reason the Democrats win is because of the various groups that make up the party watch out for each other. At least on the social front, the GOP is dead as a political vehicle. Let us say the Chamber of Commerce wing is willing to throw SoCons under the bus. They think they can't anything they want by lobbying and cash.
