1896: McKinley's victory over Bryan destroyed the equilibrium between the parties and resulted in GOP dominance until the Depression.
1932: FDR's landslide victory was a rejection of the GOP's laissez-faire philosophy, and established a Democratic majority.
1968: Although Nixon's victory was narrow, his vote combined with George Wallace's was 57 percent- a strong repudiation of the liberal Democrats. This ended the New Deal Democratic majority.
There haven't been any realigning elections since then.
