This holiday season, the Democratic Party woke up to find a bare tree and a big lump of coal in its Christmas stocking.

A close look at numbers in the latest Cook Political Report shows that in the wake of the 2014 midterm elections:

Democrats now have the lowest number of House seats since 1928.

The lowest number of Senate seats since 1928.

And Democrats now hold fewer state legislative seats than they have since 1928.

In other words, it is the worst showing in 86 years.

Democrats also have absolutely no white representation in the House in the deep South the only representation they have are brothers.

Meanwhile, Republicans picked up nine seats to win the majority in the Senate, their biggest gain since 1994.

And Republicans didnt lose a single incumbent senator, something they havent done since 2004.
