4 for me , 1 each . Actually , I ' ll have the lot thankyouverymuch <| sep |> God this playcalling is trash . Can Lions fans get off of JBC ' s nuts now ? <| sep |> 1 The Democrats have lost control of all 3 branches of the federal and the majority of state legislatures and governor mansions . In the history of the democratic party since FDR , this kind of washout is unprecedented and it was possibly avoidable if the parties at the state level hadn ' t been neglected or if they had built a stronger national infrastructure both of which they didn ' t do . The National Party did almost nothing positive between Howard Dean and Ellison while the GOP under Preibus built a national GOTV system , which won the election coupled with Trump mastering the media ecosystem . b Clawing it back isn ' t going to happen in the next election cycle . The most optimistic ones for regaining the House and undoing all the GOP gerrymandering from 2010 is maybe by 2030 ow . The same for the court system as well as the SCOTUS . And this doesn ' t account for things like another washout or more infighting , which seems to be starting up even now .
