Yes this is a good point. They realized they neglected state and local stuff. They restocked their bench in recent mid term cycles. It took an overly long time though. I don't understand how they've let the their electoral appeal die on the vine for so many years. Though that's what's happening in the GOP right now, I think..

So much of those losses were the result of passing Obama care. But now it is very popular.
