Republicans are openly worried about Donald Trump and Ted Cruz destroying their party. At a time when they should be concerned about potentially facing Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in the fall, GOP leaders are instead trying to prevent their party from total collapse. The question isn’t can Republicans win back the White House. Instead, Republicans are wondering whether or not they will have a party left after Trump and Cruz get done with them. The 2016 election has changed from a contest between Democrats and Republicans to occupy the White House to a question of whether or not extremist Republicans are going to burn their party to the ground.
