It's very hard for me to say, because the many, many different ways in which Dictator-in-Chief Bumbletrumpf can screw up before he finally gets kicked out or dies.  

A US where he resigns in disgrace later this year and Pence becomes President will be a lot different than one where he serves for 6 years, eroding democracy all the while and possibly starting a civil war, before dying of an aneurism. And those are both different from ones where he starts a major foreign war by incompetence, and then gets assassinated.

It would have to be the 8th.

1st=Age of Jefferson and Madison

2nd=Age of Jackson and Polk

3rd=Age of Lincoln and Cleveland

4th=Age of McKinley and Wilson (extreme regional polarization; Dems can't win majorities in New Jersey any more)

5th=Age of Roosevelt and Eisenhower (Democrats' ideological shift here; massive depolarization)

6th=Age of Nixon and Carter (GOP becomes a force in the South, extreme candidate-centered politics)

7th=Age of Bush II and Trump (extreme polarization on ideology; age of the marriage gap)

Here's how I view it

1789-1824: Age of the Founders
1824-1858: Age of Jacksonion Politics
1858-1896: Age of extreme polarization
1896-1932: Republican Dominance (Whoever the Republican is will win no matter what unless they are divided or democrat is incumbent)
1932-1968: Era of Liberalism
1968-1998: Rise of Conservatism
1998- Present: Age of extreme polarization 2.0

"party systems" are abstractions only really useful when analysing historical elections with a lot of hindsight.
