Trump winning isn't necessarily a Republican win. Not really in the traditional way. Trump winning is more in line with when the tea party took a bunch of seats in the house a few years ago. He wasn't anywhere near the GOPs pick for the job. The GOP wasn't getting things done the way their voters wanted so they voted him in. There were a LOT of choices too. The GOP has had to learn to work with him with varing degrees of success.
After this last election the Dems are facing the same type of identity crisis the GOP did during the Obama years. It comes down to the problem with having only 2 parties to choose from and each party becoming a sloppier "catch all" party with each political cycle.
My prediction is a more that even further left leaning politicians will start replacing seats previously held by more centrist democrats.
