You can thank GOP gerrymandering, plus the general apathy of Dem voters in off-year elections, for much of that.
When the big election comes around, the GOP generally takes it in the chin. 2016 will be no different.
Right-wingers have been wanting to throw out minorities since "go back to Africa" was a popular catchphrase.
GOP can't gerrymander until they have already been voted into office in the first place. Many races are not subject to Gerrymandering such as Senators, Governor, etc. DNC lost all of these too.
Nope. In the last 1/5 century both parties have won equally.
Last comment is a made up bogyman so that you can shoot it to prove you are right. i.e. A fallacy.
Ahh. The Guardian takes one sentence out of a very long interview between Yahoo & Trump, and makes a story out of it. Didn't mention anything else not the context in which it was given.
This is a two month old story where Trump said he didn't mean that he would create a Muslim database when all the false outrage hit the airwaves.
Now the facts come out. CBS is reporting this woman was part of a larger group of protesting Muslims organized by Jibril Hough, a spokesman for the Islamic Center of Charlotte.
Hamid was standing with a group mounting a "silent protest" led by Jibril Hough, a spokesman for the Islamic Center of Charlotte.
The protesters in the audience had star-shaped badges on, some reading "Muslim" and others reading "Stop Islamophobia." The man standing next to Hamid had a badge on that read "human." At least two others wearing badges were escorted out, though some were not silent.
Considering that 5000 people who wanted to see Trump were turned away, these people should not have been in there taking up space.

I was at the event and noticed her as she walked in, because she obviously stood out. She truly didn't make a disturbance - the crowd was just encouraged to chant "Trump, Trump, Trump" when anyone protested.
She was with a group who quietly stood up when Trump mentioned radical Islam, maybe to show that not all Muslims are bad, maybe truly in protest. Who knows? But they just quietly stood there, then someone in the crowd started yelling "Trump" around them. The crowd made the disturbance, and they were escorted out.
I don't think they made a disturbance at all, unless blocking someone's view counts
It isn't just liberals, dear. It's GOPers who hate Donald Trump too. She's an activist who is trying little by little to impose her Muslim ways on everybody else. They're special doncha know. But that's OK. Her 15 minutes of fame were neutralized by the Muslim who shot the cop in Philadelphia.
I was around when Jimmy Carter put a ban on travel to/from Iran after the American hostages were taken in Teheran. You could go to Iran, but you could not come back to the states. Don't remember too many people complaining about that back then.
If you think about it, Trump's position is not new or unreasonable. It's basically a temporary travel ban. Besides WHERE is it written that we are obligated to admit Muslim immigrants? What are they going to do for us? What have they done for humanity lately?
I agree....some Republicans act like Democrats because they hate Trump.
What Trump is proposing it has been done before by FDR, IKE and Carter......but of course the media and liberals will never admit that.

maybe it was done for heir safety and to not interrupt Trump's speech while the crowd shouts his name to counter the protesters.......the media is making too much out of this.
but why is she doing this? Trump never said all Muslims are bad and his proposal to stop immigration of Muslims until we reform our vetting process for our security is our priority.
She is confused and is prejudging Trump supporters.
