No one can save them.
They are between a rock and a hard place.
Caught in a trap of their own making.

The Republican Party is left in a difficult place. Their entire electoral strategy depends on the South--specifically socially conservative white males who live there. While the party does enjoy successes elsewhere in the country, their game is really aimed at capturing this demographic. And so, the GOP is presented with an interesting dilemma: what mobilizes conservative white southerners is largely ineffective in a country where the white population is shrinking, and the culture is changing.

The pull to the right has ended up backfiring on the GOP. Pundits and wonks have been saying for years that the key to the White House lies with the Latino vote--demonstrated by Barack Obama, who has placed a heavy emphasis on immigration reform since his first presidential campaign in 2008. Through his endorsement, he has made it a toxic issue for Republicans, which has cost them. Many within the party's establishment have taken notice of the changing tides, and softened their tune. There's only one problem: they cannot soften enough the Tea Party and its base aren't going along with them.
