I think people are underestimating how bad the mid-term could get for Republicans. In 2010, Republicans won Illinois and (in a special election) Massachusetts, and Republicans defended all of their seats in 2010 and 2014. The possibility of Democrats holding all of their seats is on the table, as is an upset in TX and UT (though only if Hatch retires/loses primary and Matheson runs).
