Here is an alternate fact that you avoid: ..  Over the last 8 years the Democrats have lost 900 state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. 

They have no credible leaders.

Right now they have 10 senators in jeopardy of being replaced in 2018 as they are from States that Trump won in the last election.

As for the vote total:  Number of times Trump campaigned in California:  0   Hillary was a numerous fund raisers in California throughout the election campaign.  She really worked hard locking down the 1%.

Saying that Hillary won because she won the popular votes is like saying a  hockey team that won the shots-on-goal  but got outscored 4-0 actually won the game. 

Had  Hillary not been an horrendous candidate and the Dems would have won the presidency then they would have had total grid-lock unless Hillary actually negotiated with the Republicans.
