Interesting indeed, especially since Democrats contested more seats than Republicans.

All things considered, I'm not surprised we are looking for silver linings, but we really shouldn't be. The Senate map was objectively terrible, we seem on track for a comfortable House majority, and we won about as many Govs offices as Democrats/Republicans did in 2006/2010, if not maybe more.
This is a good election for Democrats. I think we just set our expectations too high and inevitably got stung when those didn't pan out. I guess it's also fair to say we were hoping for a strong rebuke to Trump and an expanded Senate majority doesn't do that, but it's not the end of the world.
