Pundits keep going on and on about the GOP's demographic problems.. They aren't wrong on some of these issues but the GOP is certainly not having a "nightmare." They control the presidency, both houses of congress, and 34 governorships. Not too shabby.
It's political news - dramatization should be expected.
But for the record, going by political power in the moment probably isn't the best way to judge the long-term viability of a political party. Democrats were riding high in 2009 and even more so in 1993, yet a year later they were swept out in quick succession. You can find lots of examples of that happening to Republicans in the past as well. For that reason, it's good to keep an eye on these kinds of trends.
Democrats were not flying higher in 1993 than 2009, their president only won with 43% of the vote and they lost seats in congress. Also the GOP was much more popular in 1993 than 2009 as the Reagan/Bush years were much more popular than the Bush Jr years
