The Tea heads seem to be subdued in the 114th Congress. There's been no sign of the self-imposed targets and hysterical countdowns/ default threats that have been so common since 2011. The lines between Tea and establishment are now more blurred than ever. Most of the hellraisers like Bachaman are gone; and the ambitious have long been appropriated into the GOPmachine.
I would argue that it is possible for parties to "die out" demographically. But I feel it's less common in the US system, where parties are traditionally loose associations rather than cohesive organisations; than in, say, the Netherlands.
