Republicans have a massive electoral map problem that has nothing to do with Donald Trump

7. That's the big weakness of the Democratic party

This party is REALLY bad when it comes to local elections. It's platform is based almost solely on the federal level while the Republicans are based more on the state level.

And just like the electoral map won't go in the GOP favor for a long time, the Congressional map won't go in the Democrats favor for a long time either.

We can talk all we want about the demise of the Republicans in 50 years (Democrats might not be far behind either). But right now, they hold more power in the state and local level than either party has ever held the past century. Going by the political trends of the country, if Democrats win this year, the GOP will blow them out again in 2018, just in time for the next census. When you look at history, that's what tends to happen. It happened in 1994 and 2010.

We are literally looking at 10-20 years of deadlock ahead of us.
