Are GOP candidates floundering?

With 365 days to go, the Republican Party is in bad shape for the presidential election. November 3 brought some good news for conservatives with the defeat of marijuana legalization in Ohio and Republican victories in state and local elections, such as Matt Bevin becoming governor of Kentucky. Some polls show that in head-to-head competition a number of Republicans would theoretically defeat Hillary Clinton (if the election were held now). Even so, GOP candidates face very substantial problems in the race for the White House.
