After the Bush win in 2004, the Democrats did not go into a funk and form a circular firing squad. They united and fought back. The Republican Party is not dead, it is just severely divided and demoralized. At this point, it is more satisfying to make excused and find scapegoats than to accept the reality that we lost an election we could have won.
At some point the two major factions in the Republican Party will accept the reality that neither can win without the other and they will unite against the common opponent.
to make excuses - Sorry for the typo.
Did you read the article? This isn't just pointing at the other guy and saying, "It's your fault." This article and the article referenced above from Erickson at Redstate both demonstrate a level of corruption from the RINO consultants that is treasonous. It's the very definition of Lenin's quote, "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

The common enemy of both parties is constitutional conservatives.

It has long been my contention that the GOP establishment would rather lose with a moderate than win with a conservative. I haven't seen anything to change my mind.
The Republicans spent 40 years out of power. Somewhere along the line a mindset set in that "we can work with this." They learned to work the system, while being out of power. Being in control became less important that having access to power.
