Seeing the level of real debate here on the election, I choose the former.
The answer is no, they will not change.

8 years ago they lost bad to Obama and in the process lost the House and Senate and left the Democrats with a super majority in the house. Did they change? No, they thought they needed to be more conservative than ever before. If it weren't for Trump, one of their most conservative members, Cruz, would be the nominee.

If they lose they will blame Trump and assume it is just a fluke. They will do the same to Hillary as they did Obama (meaning filibuster everything and bring the government to a halt) then they will blame the lack of progress on the democrats and go back to promising the same shit they always promise.
