The Republicans are in a weird place lately. There are definitely divergent camps within the party, but I suspect none is confident enough to split off and try to run separately from the others (and sacrifice the "Republican" brand). Perhaps exemplified by how Tea Party and Libertarian folks vote Republican because they don't have enough political clout to get anywhere on their own. I'm sure the same is true on the liberal side (Green Party?) and I'm just not as familiar with that side. So I guess what I'm saying is I would be surprised because I don't think any single camp within the Republican party is dominant enough to beat the rest of the party. But on the other hand I was surprised when the party picked Trump as their candidate, so I could be surprised again.
