I bet a lot of republicans wish democrats had fielded a better candidate so that their primary field would have had to demonstrate that they could beat the democrat. Instead it was a doddering old man who originally was only there to make Obama seem more conservative. Democrats have been useless and ineffective for a couple of decades now and that has in no small part helped the republican party turn towards the fascism of idiots.

I'm a democrat and I blame my own party more than republicans for the situation we're in. You can't just phone it in for decades and expect to win because you're so sure you're right. The republic needs to be and has needed to be actively defended and the people who were supposed to be doing that have been cowards.
