I missed the part where she ran against Trump in New Hampshire.
Wait, don't tell me you think Sanders' support will flock to Trump if his nomination bid fails....
YeaH unless it was independents who aligned with the D's for the primary and voted for Sanders but may go towards Trump without Sanders in the picture... I doubt that group is large enough to cause a real issue though.
Virginia will easily go for Clinton. The cities (Newport News, Richmond, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, Charlottesville, Roanoke etc) are rich with Democratic votes. NOVA is a lock and the suburban areas around Richmond and Norfolk are increasingly voting Democratic.
Spend a few minutes looking at the people on a state university campus or in a suburban mall and it will be clear that Virginia won't be going republican in a state-wide election any time soon.

Mark Warner almost lost his seat in 2014. This was considered a "safe" seat for the Democrats and thus wasn't targeted by the GOP. It's not a good sign for Democrats.

Midterm in particular a second year typically sees voters of the presidential party not show up to vote, especially democrats.

They never learn.
Republicans were certain that 2010 telegraphed a GOP romp to the White House in 2012. They were wrong, for the precise reason you cite above. And they're bound and determined to learn absolutely nothing from that failure in logic.
Of course, it's hilarious to see the fact that THE DEMOCRAT MARK WARNER WON IN A REPUBLICAN WAVE YEAR touted as ominous for Democrats! And the usual suspects can't be bothered to address the fact that an unabashed liberal, Terry McAuliffe, is now the Governor of Virginia, and he won that office in a year in which his party controlled the White House - something no other candidate for Virginia Governor had been able to do since 1973. Or that Democrats hold all five statewide offices in Virginia (Both U.S. Senators, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General).
They're also in deep denial about how useful it will be for likely-nominee Clinton to have a longtime Clinton ally, McAuliffe (currently with a 55% approval rating), holding the governorship and able to marshal the resources of the office on her behalf in the general election.
