A rather unlikely scenario. There are always people who say America is going in the wrong direction and sooner or later GOP will capitalize on that. Whigs disappeared since they supported slavery and so did the majority of Democrats. Thus, GOP emerged as a party that united those who were against slavery, whether because they preferred free market economy or because they wanted equality for all. The only thing that can destroy GOP today is a certain popular agenda that finds little support among Republican leaders and is hostile to left-wing Democrats. But I don't know what it could be, perhaps, communitarianism?
