They lost the 2010 mid-terms mainly because of the tea party and the passage of Obamacare, which the GOP made into some sort evil on par with Satan himself. Remember Palin screaming "death panels" all over the country.
And the tea party has now been absorbed by the alt right. For a large portion of a country that's ridiculously partisan right now, they simply will not vote for a democrat because they will take away their guns, strongly fight to keep the separation of church and state (heathens), advocate murdering babies in their own backyards, and take away your job and give it to a Mexican.
There's really no more nuance in regard to real policy, it's all about boiler plate issues for many, many people in this country.
