What future for the GOP?
The GOP controls U.S. politics but seems weaker than ever before: no leading figures, internal rivalries and division currently characterize the party. Is the party on the upgrade or is it just profiting from Obama’s weakened position? How should or will the party position itself for the 2016 elections?
The GOP is weak, but Democrats nevertheless need to change their strategy if they want to keep the presidency.

News of the Republican Party’s demise has been greatly exaggerated. The party controls both chambers and has a lot of strong candidates for the 2016 elections.
