In regards to Presidential elections, demographic change will do the same. When either Florida or Texas turn blue (for TX, it's a sure thing within 15 years) a Republican will never be elected President again.
They will, they'll just soften some of their party platforms.
For instance, you'll have candidates in the GOP at that point who are still pro-gun and anti-regulatory, but they'll be pro-gay marriage and marijuana legalization.
You'll see fewer Donald Trumps and Mike Pences, and more Bill Welds and Charlie Bakers coming to the forefront of the party.
Texas is home to one of the largest Chapters of "PinkPistols", a gay gun rights organization...so there's still plenty of room for a revised version of the GOP to come in and win on certain issues that mainstream democrats would fail on.
