They're in their death throws. Remember: even the GOP had to run through 2 horrible candidate (despite tea Party populist uprising, despite a growing voice against establishment Republicans) before the Insider Sect of the Republican Party was worn down enough that Trump could defeat their apparatus in the primary! It was a struggle. I was there. Fox News and Ted Cruz and all that other shit. We barely squeaked in.

The Democrats had some decent candidates. They were drummed out of the primary 15 months ago.
The most extreme factions are the ones that tend to vote in primaries. It's a shitty system but it is what it is.
The founders feared the party system, but the president was never supposed to have so much power that it really mattered.
