It means that the GOP is becoming even more right-wing and authoritarian.

Nothing obvious. Eric Cantor is but one  of 435.   The most significant question is whether it will result in a change of the majority.

Republicans need both the Corporate wing and the tea Party wing to win  elections in most states and districts.

I thought in 2010 that the two wings would eventually turn on each other -- Corporate Rs distrusting the populism inherent in the Tea Party and Tea Party types recognizing that Corporate America will not abandon its profitable businesses in booze, gambling, and soft-core porn. About all that they have in common is contempt for liberalism.
