Unlikely they would lose 7 state majorities in one election.
Agree.
I think the GOP House majority - in raw votes anyway - is safe until 2020.
In 2022, after the 2020 Census and redistricting, it will get much tougher.
The Census counts “all persons present,” which includes non-citizen permanent residents and illegal immigrants.
That will add Congressional districts to immigrant heavy states, like California, and to certain regions, like the 100% Democrat districts on the Texas-Mexico border.
I think it's likely the Senate will go 50-50, or an outright Democrat majority, after the 2016 election.
Since the Democrat Party always votes as a unified block, unlike the Republicans, that would mean the Supreme Court is political toast for Conservatives.
Also, I read that the Senate chooses the Vice President in the absence of an Electoral Vote majority, which I did not know.
I think it may be too late to turn the great "Ship of State" in a more Conservative direction.
For reasons I will never understand, a majority of Republican voters have enthusiastically supported massive LEGAL immigration for the past 30 years.
The price tag on that politically deranged decision is coming due, and it cannot be reversed, perhaps ever.
