Everyone is so focused on the National Elections the State and Local Elections get over looked  

The above map is shows the balance of power in State Legislatures  BEFORE Tuesday  :?  

That changed.  Here in Iowa we flipped SIX State Senate Seats and took control of BOTH Houses in the Legislature

State Senate Results for Iowa 

 There are two things to consider here,

First Donald Trump had nothing to do whatsoever in the creation of the situation we see in that map.

Sedond, After the Election there are more Red States,

Solid color Red or Blue means one party controls both Houses,  Yellow the Legistlature is split, 

So despite how things looked about the House of Reprsentatives the Presidency, the Senate and how those last two might affect the structure of the Supreme Court.

When I would  hear earlier this year langauge about How the GOP was finished?

I would look at the balance of Powers in our State Capitols and think'

In what Universe?

It boils down to this folks

Either the GOP is doing a Lot of Things Right.

Or the Democrats are doing a Lot of Things really Really  REALLY

Wrong

But I don't think they even see that,

COOL.
