You and your team got CRUSHED because the policies of the POTUS have been soundly rejected by the electorate of this country. There's no way around accepting that failure, you'll figure it out eventually.
They probably won't. They can't figure out why we don't like dog food.

There was 100% voter turnout. Too bad only a small percentage put their choice in writing. Those that did voted Republican.

My favorite gerrymandered state is Ohio. In 2012, the Democratic candidates for the US House got 52% of the votes in Ohio, yet the Republican candidates won 12 of the 16 house seat. So one side gets 52% of the vote, but only 25% of the representation. Ahh, democracy

And is it your stupid contention that the democrats has never gerrymandered or reset boundaries to serve their own agendas?

Even you cannot be that biased as to claim that. But of course, for your side it is (supposedly) and act of fairness, but when the other side does the exact same thing it is cheating.

Perhaps you should read something other than your masters talking points to learn some truth.

Unless the democrats continue to follow their leader and produce unpopular laws and continue to assume that the voters are to stupid (as one designer of Obamacare states) and act with arrogance.

Forbid if the voters actually think for themselves and realize they are still being lied to by the democrats.
