In my view, the problem with the Democratic party is that it is a fractured party. They have catered to multiple groups that don't have much of anything to do with eachother and as a result the Democrats have trouble creating a party core.

For example: Both union workers in the nation's factories and the environmentalists tend to vote Democratically. That creates a conflict of interest, if the environmentalists get their way, the union workers lose jobs. But if the union workers keep the status quo in the factories, the environment suffers.

Also, Homosexuals and Jews tend to vote for democrats. The Torah has some pretty strong stuff against homosexuality, pull out a bible and read the book of Deuteronomy (The last of the five books of the Torah). So again there is one group opposed to another group in the same political party.

These polar opposites within the democratic party create conflicts of interest and power struggles within the same party and the Democratic leadership is caught in the middle. In their ongoing effort to hold onto the votes of all the groups within the party, the democratic leadership is constantly going back and forth between the groups and is unable to create and maintain a party core.

The Republican party on the other hand has a Republican core and a base to operate from. This allows for a much better organized movement of the party and when the party makes a move to drive in the vote of its members as it did this last election, it moves in a much more efficient manner.

To borrow a quote from Abraham Lincoln, It is true that you may please all of the people some of the time; you can even please some of the people all of the time; but you can't please all of the people all of the time. The democrats are in fact trying to please all of the people all of the time and that is fracturing the party.
