The Right has been weakened socially since they lost the "culture war".
The Republicans are hanging on by their nails to power. The demographics are extremely skewed against them.
How long can they be the party of rural, White, less educated baby boomers?
They haven't won the popular vote in a presidential election since 2004 (which itself was because of all the patriotic hype in the aftermath of 9/11 still fresh in public's mind)
Before that they didn't win the popular vote since 1988.
The Democrats should just continue to be a cosmopolitan political party and they will soon end up dominating the country. Not that I like all their policies (I'm more of a libertarian), but the Republicans are just too racial and too rural for my taste.
