The GOP is alive and well thanks in part to there being two different American electorates. The one that shows up in years not divisible by four is very, very Republican.
Democrats would be foolish to underestimate this. Republicans can, do, and will continue to win elections even if they do get wiped out on the Presidential race, and their incredible power at the state and local level blunts much of the impact of the Democratic hold on the White House. That, too, can change, especially if the next big economic downturn happens on the watch of a President Clinton.
