The GOP has existed for a long time, and it will take more than a Trump (or Cruz) loss in a landslide for it to collapse. Even after twenty years of FDR/Truman and another big loss in 1964 the party bounced way back and will again. It will, at least, remain the opposition party as the Democrats becoming stronger winning over younger voters. For good or for ill, third parties have never been strong enough to replace either of the two dominant parties (not since Abraham Lincoln anyway). T Roosevelt was the only candidate to come in second and he lost badly to Wilson.
