Remember, they were running cunts like Bachmann and Santorum as serious contenders last year. And seeing as how they didn't seem to learn much from the election they'll likely keep on the same path and put up the most conservative people they can find. Their problem is that they have to appeal to the teabaggers to get the nomination, and then try to look like moderates to the general voting public. I'll be surprised if they have more moderate candidates in 2016.
We can only hope. You're right, if they run a hard right-winger they're not going to be able to carry the general election. Depends on if they get pragmatic or not... It looks like not, but they've still got time to get it together. And if the Greens run a good campaign that'll fuck with the Dems too...
