A new center-right party will rise and will be in the wilderness for 15 years until it becomes a contender. Even then it might take a decade to get a House or Senate or Prez.
Timing is faster these days though, and politics abhors a power vacuum. Realistically I do not expect Democratic domination for 24 years. Watch out for an independent who might take the Presidency.
If I had more time now I'd look into the fall of the Whigs and the rise of the Republican Party, and also the rise of the Democratic Party.
