If the Republicans were still committed to 'big tent' moderation, I would agree that she has been marginalized. If, however, they continue to woo the right in the partially correct assumption that the far right are more committed voters, then she still has power.
The far right strategy may win the Republicans primaries and possibly off-year elections where the rest of the population is too apathetic to vote.
This is why the Republican's only hope is anti-Democratic sentiment, saying in effect that they are the only other game in town. IF they pack themselves up with far right candidates, even this strategy may fail.
