The stunning defeat was not isolated to just presidential politics (although that was a complete shutout by the numbers) - the entire country has been resoundingly swept by Republicans. There are only a handful of places that performed on-average or better for Democrats than previous campaigns - and there are many places that set historic-firsts by driving so hard into deep red.
You can break it down by location, culture, ethnicity, etc. Any way you want - and Republicans took massive gains at Democrat's expense.
It's really hard to call this anything other than a resounding defeat.
