Unfortunately, the current congressional fuckery is more a reflection of the increased radicalization of everyday Republican individuals. Ted Cruz is now seen as the de facto leader of the Republican party in opinion polls, and is now the frontrunner in a potential primary presidential election because of his moronic grandstanding about Obamacare. The marginally less radical voices are being overruled.

This is what the Republican base wants.
