What must it have been like to be a Democrat after the 1984 election?

I'm reading history, and in our current era of narrow, tightly-contested elections, I can't even imagine what a 49-state defeat would have felt like. Were there a lot of Chicken Littles who proclaimed that the Democratic Party would be going extinct? How did the political party bounce back?
