Democrats have lost much much much more than just the White House since Obama has been President. Trump is not the cause of anything.... he's the symptom of actual problems... .which people want to deny.
And under Clinton, the Democrats came into power with all three houses and lost them. And under Bush, the Republicans held all three houses and lost them. Then it happened to Obama and it is likely to happen to Trump.

This does not mean there is a republican mandate running through America right now. The Republicans backed into this victory. They actually lost seats in both the House and Senate, but were able to barely hold onto them.

The problem is that both parties are very similar and the pattern shows that when one wins it invigorates the other and they turn out to vote while the followers of the party in power often assume they have it locked down and are less enthusiastic.
