Frankly, Republicans in today's America could, if they chose to, win consistently without engaging in voter suppression, court packing, or other marginal gamesmanship. All they'd have to do is drop some of their ideological radicalism. But that won't play in Republican primaries, which is why Romney, who put in place a market based, moderate healthcare system with near-universal coverage in Massachusetts, couldn't run on his record and had to disclaim his greatest accomplishment.
They have consciously chosen to be radical right assholes.
