Re: Campaign 2016 - I'm Biden my time till I doctor the hearing.
The problem is if you read the article carefully you'll see that our losses have been worse than usual, and of course they have a nasty tail effect because 2010 was a very bad election and that's the redistricting driver.
The good news is:
1. demographics favors the Democrats heavily
2. the next redistricting election, 2020, will have the full electorate
3. as you say, continued occupancy of the White House means dominance in the federal courts, which means GOP Neo-Jim Crow schemes will be struck down; flipping SCOTUS will mean reversing Citizen United and McCutcheon and restoring the Voting Rights Act
4. having a slim majority in Congress with an opposition party in the White House is TERRIBLE for the Republicans in a time when Congress is so hated
