Why wouldn't they be?

In the past there have been longer periods of unbroken White House control by one party, and the underdog party remained intact.

Because of the fact that they have such high hopes and if they crashed that bad their would be such internal uprisings

You seem quite certain of this.  'Internal uprisings' I might agree with you on to an extent, but to suggest that the Democratic party itself would somehow collapse or whatever and be replaced by 2016 is a stretch.  The GOP survived the unexpected disappointment of the 1948 election, didn't it?

I think then though the party was united for the 48' election, the Democrats are already in shambles and with the media of today any internal uprising will get overplayed and could lead to the party splitting in two.

This just sounds like wishful thinking on your part.  Besides, if you believe the Democratic party is in a "shambles", I dread to think how the GOP must seem.  Since their disastrous 2006 elections, their President's consistently awful approval ratings, and now outright intra-party civil war over the immigration bill, it's the Republicans who are closer to an "internal uprising".
