RE: Dem losses during Obama’s presidency.
Arkansas in 2008 had:
Democrat Governor
2 Democrat US Senators
3 Democrat US and 1 Republican House Reps
After the 2016 election:
Republican Governor
Republican state Senate and House and all state offices
2 Republican US Senators
4 Republican US House Reps
Hillary Clinton lost with only 33.7% compared to Trump with 60.6% of the votes.

Missouri took a similar turn in 2016 toward Republicans, too.
2016 map exhibits the Republican Party expansion.
2014 map is Congressional results (when the Democrats got slaughtered).
2016 map was better than we could have ever imagined.
