My first thought on reading this comment was "heading for?", but on reflection this could just be them having the same problem the Democrats have had since the 60s, being a coalition without much to unify it stuck together because its various subsets' goals either don't conflict with each others' or conflict less than they do with the other party, and it's a two-party system. The Republicans managed to create a sort of unity by being excellent propagandists, but they can't manage it anymore. Yet the gun nuts, religious loonies, and market loonies all have more in common with each other than that the Democratic party taken as a whole. As much as I'd love to see it, I don't think they're going to have a schism so much as Republicans are going to be pulled in as many different directions as Democrats are, losing the advantage of coherence but still there.The Republicans are headed for schism. I don't see a real way around it. And a party in schism doesn't win elections.
