The Democrats no longer have a majority even in vaunted Blue States. What the map illustrates is the breadth and depth of the GOP win - and that is likely to be long lasting.
What the Democrats face is they have no fresh presidential talent on show for 2016 - they have a lot of elderly faces but no one original and inspiring to offer the country. Obama was a one act wonder and Clinton has nowhere near the likeability, the charisma and the appeal he once possessed.
The Democrats’ road to retaining the White House in 2016 is only going to get even tougher.
Democrats will start counting the Gulf of Mexico as their territory, it is blue after all.
