In California, the new rules actually allow this to happen. The election goes for the two candidates that got the most votes during the primaries. Even if both are from the same party.
The GOP isn't going to just vanish by any means. They might still hold the House for a while and as everyone points out, there is no immediate third party to challenge them. But the good news is that this might cause a change in the First-Past-The-Post system if the GOP is desperate enough.

And it's not like they wouldn't hang around even if all they have left are the Crazies.

If Democrats grow too big, the Blue Dogs would just split off and form a new Republican party. That's how it rolls.
