Yesterday was a huge loss for the "Resistance." They gained fewer seats than opposition parties usually do. The Tea Party gained both the Senate and House, and gained over 60 seats in the House! A true Red Wave. The Resistance lost seats in the Senate and gained fewer seats in the House than opposition parties have historically have on average. The takeaway from yesterday is that Trump Train 2020 has more momentum than Hope Train 2012 did.
I think Democrats should be more concerned about the fact that Trump now has a foil right out of central casting in Nancy Pelosi—a rich 80-year old champaign socialist from San Francisco.

as opposed to Pelosi's foil from central casting, a rich 70 year old real estate socialite from New York.
The Democrats definitely underperformed, even according to all the models. We will see if a Democratic presidential candidate is enough to energize their base but all this nonsense about SJWism, women, MeTooism, didn't really work that well.

The goal of democrats was to take over the house, which they did with women and minorities winning. So yes, it worked out extremely well. Of course men won too but the women and the minorities are the ones who will make history

The Democrats set out an objective to win the House, Senate, state legislatures, and governorships. They tempered expectations as things got closer to election day. Republican leadership always thought that they were the underdogs in the House and gubernatorial races. The Republican leadership was shocked at how many wins they had among the governorships and in the Senate. They were also surprised by some of the seats they hung on to in the House, but they were equally surprised by some that they lost.

The Democrats picked up 33-34 seats in the house and lost 3 seats in the Senate. They lost crucial governorships in Florida, Ohio, and probably Georgia. This was supposed to be a "blue wave", even a "blue tidal wave" and it turned out to be a "blue ripple".
It was a definite underperformance when it was supposed a Democratic route. In 2010 and 1996, Republicans flipped 50+ seats in the house and close to 10 seats in the Senate. That's a wave, this is a ripple.
Its funny how liberals are acting like having a Republican or Democrat governor somehow equals what the electoral votes will look like. New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts all have Republican governors (who were all reelected), does that mean they will vote red in 2020?
