The democrats will likely go through the same thing eventually, but right now they are reasonably happy. Democrats liked Bill Clinton and hated Bush, and while they were a little disappointed that Obama didn't turn out as liberal as they would like, they still felt good about electing the first black President. Now they will feel good about electing the first female President. However, I won't be shocked if after Hilary we see some unrest on the democrat side.
The republicans showed that an outsider can win the nomination, now they just need the right outsider so we might start seeing more "Trumplike" candidates.

Here's what I don't get. Which one of these States has a lot of poor people who vote Republican? Obama got in with promises he was unable to keep, how much of that was dues to the poor not getting out and voting in local elections?
The tables are turning and unless the two parties come forward with people who will get the wealth to trickle down. The likelihood of countries turning to the extreme right or left is high. It's happening in Europe because the Left has shitted on the people.
