The chairman of the republican party, Reince Preibus, said on the day he was re-elected for the third time, that the republican party will not exist in its current form, if the GOP loses the presidential race in 2016.

Just guessing that he meant there would be a tea-party faction and a more moderate faction, but no strong umbrella organization.

A loss in 2016 would be the sixth loss out of seven contests, in the popular vote.
