20. How does the GOP split figure into this?

This is surely a weird year.

On the one hand we have the DLC planning to sabotage this race then blame it on Democrats not letting the DLC run the party.

On the other side we have the Religious Right swearing to stay home on election day because their chosen candidate did not win the nominee.

I would suggest the DLC and Religious Right get together and form a third party. They could call it Christian Democrats. That party could join the Rightwing economic and foreign policies of the DLC with the Rightwing social policies of the Religious Right. But then that wouldn't be any different from the Republican Party today.
