Just how messed up is the Republican Party?

Seriously, how fucked up is it? Because from where I'm sitting -

The actual conservative candidate called it quits due to lack of support, and

The candidate who has done the most to damage conservative causes is in the lead as of right now.

That's fucked up right there. That's not even worth saving if this is the case for the GOP. This is cause for alarm from every true conservative in the country. We have to decide whether to save this thing or give it up as lost and dead. And from where I sit, it's a 50-50% shot of success either way.
