Not only stupid party, but wimpy party

Democrats willing to bite the bullet. Republicans probably willing to take the bullet in the brain rather than actually do anything. Going all way back to 1960s, LBJ cited to sacrifice the south in favor of civil rights legislation. Assuming I got my history right. I think there are willing to do the same kind of things today. Take Obamacare for example. I think the Democrats knew that Obamacare would be a pain in the neck for the first few years of its existence. But in the long run they see this as a boon to their party. In other words in at least two historical examples Democrats were willing to take risks do their electoral futures in order to prevail in the long run. The GOP in contrast refuses to even to take the slightest risk that any perceived opposition could cost them votes. It is a weakness that could be fatal to the long term interests of the party.
