Senate results = presidential results

If some had told you before the Election Day 2016 that that would be the first election where the winning party in every Senate election mirrored the winning party for their state in the Presidential election, would you have changed your prediction?

I only would have changed MO to R (duh), so my final prediction would have been:

GOP: FL, NC, IA, OH, MO, AZ, IN
DEM: PA, IL, WI, NH

Wisconsin was very tricky. I don't think that anybody, beside some hardcore Republican hacks, would have thought that both races would be won by the GOP.

If the Republicans (somehow) pick up all the Trump states in the Senate elections later this year, they would have a super majority not seen since the 70's for the Democrats. A president with a 35% approval rating would never get a margin of victory like that. Some states like Missouri, Indiana, and Florida are definitely possible, but not states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc. Those went to Trump yeah, but by under 2 points. And remember, there's Nevada, which Clinton won by 2, Arizona, which Trump won by 3, and Texas, which even a terrible Democrat like Hillary swung over to the Dems. My own prediction might honestly be off. Looking back now, Dems pick up 1, Reps pick up 1, or no change. I don't really know about Tennessee, but a Dem who won 68% in a gubernatorial election just in 2006, should be interesting to see. But yeah. The Republicans won't get a super majority. If Trump was popular, then maybe like +3-5 for the Republicans. But reality, he has a 35%. Soo yeah. Love to hear replies.

What in God's name are you going on about

I wanted to ask the same question, but I wasn't quite sure if my English was simply not good enough.
