Has the Tea Party actually hurt the GOP efforts to win POTUS?

This year we are witnessing a crazy primary season in the GOP. An 'outsider' like Donald Trump is the dominant frontrunner. The GOP establishment is terrified. Then you have Ted Cruz, a Tea Party favorite, who is urging others to drop out so their supporters will join him. The GOP establishment candidates are getting pummeled, meanwhile. In the end, the GOP looks terribly divided, which has an onimous feel headed towards a fall general election.
I wondered this a few years ago but definitely today. Has the Tea Party within the GOP actually hurt more than it has helped? Should the GOP be a legitimate third party? Has its entry into the GOP set the conditions for the rise of Donald Trump? How should the Tea Party proceed? What about the GOP? What say you?

What has hurt the GOP is the same thing that is hurting our country. It is the my way is the only way mentality. Unfortunately, it has affected all parts of our society.
I do not agree with 100 % of what others say and certainly they do not agree with 100% of what I say. And, that is a good thing.

No the GOP has hurt themselves. We gave them Congress and what did they do? NOTHING!! Don't pass the buck, suck it up and admit when you've screwed up. The people are pissed and want the RNC to know it. GO TRUMP.

This is a load of crap. Tell me how the GOP is supposed to overcome a Presidential veto without making compromises that would still piss the people who would vote for Trump off? Trump will do no better unless he retains Congress and even then I imagine his true non-conservative colors will surface.

The Republican party is having a major identity crisis and I'm not sure how much longer it can endure such crisis before it splits into permanent separate factions.
