They will simply blame it on someone else. Obama, Hillary, the democrats, etc. They can literally tell a bald faced lie that is the opposite of the truth, and a good portion of their base will beleive it. Particularly since they now have Fox and Brietbart working as essentially government propoganda for them. Old folks love Fox.
It's worked pretty fucking well for them so far. I'd bet money that they are already planning how to spin the inevitable issues, deaths, etc, so they keep their voter base mostly intact.
