Their President is a crooked, lying, racist, misogynistic moron who, in all of his inarticulate idiocy, makes Sarah Palin seem Lincolnesque.
A man who, in spite of the GOP voter suppression, the Russian interference, and the heavy media bias toward Trump, still lost the popular vote.
Their wise leaders, the experienced Congressional GOP bench, were defeated by this same Crooked, lying moron. And easily defeated. Trump easily exposed Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Rand Paul and the others as empty suits spouting slogans. And Trump exposed, once again, the fact that the GOP since 1968 has been the party of racists.
Their economic policies, while posing as debt reducing, worker friendly Bills, are in fact bankrupting the worker and the country.
Their real leaders are media blowhards like Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the FOX News crew.
So I almost feel sorry for them. But I cannot really feel sorry because all of these things are the result of one Party deliberately choosing racism and lunacy as guiding principles.

it looks like their whole 'drown government in a bathtub' business is backfiring bigly.

BS'ed those voters who voted for him entirely. He played them on their emotions and how they weren't being supported. Well Putin timed it right and went in for the kill, and now we are reaping their uninformed bad decisions.
