We are blessed to have Desh's political insight on this board and her repeated insistence for eight years now that the Republican Party is dead. The numbers definitely bear that out.
The GOP’s Trump Card in the States
Republicans took the White House in a shocker, but the party has been on a roll at the state and local level throughout the Obama years.
When the dust clears, Republicans will hold at least 33 governors’ mansions, up from 22 when Obama took office. That’s the most GOP governorships in 95 years. Republicans will also boast control of as many as 33 state legislatures, up from just 14 in 2008. In more than half of all states, Republicans now own a “trifecta,” that is, control of the governorship and both legislatures. Democrats have a mere six trifectas.
