I think the latter. The GOP is on the way to all out internal civil war. It may destroy them, the A/Cs are driving them like lemmings over a cliff, and the average GOP primary voter is an A/C-RWNJ. This means a base that will always be shrinking if the Dems govern successfully. I just don't see how the F/Cs can hold out - they sold out. The ones with principles will go Libertarian, which is why Ron Paul is so unpopular with the GOP: he's got principles.

Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.
-President Barack Obama, 1st Inaugural address
