The American system makes it difficult for one coalition to get too much larger than the other. Factions will wind up resenting each other. New issues will arise that divide a coalition. At some point, some group will get dissatisfied with the Democrats and the GOP will be able to peel them off.
Now, that doesn't preclude the GOP having awful medium term prospects, but in the long term they'll be ok. I'm purposely leaving the prediction vague because who knows what the future holds, but I am confident, at some point the Democratic coalition will get too big, and some faction will break. Actually you could argue this happened with the white working class in the Midwest last year.
