I will not be consoled. The senate result was TERRIBLE. Yes, many of those seats were on borrowed time and we would eventually lose them, but losing them now is really bad. Bar from a superb 2020 relection, the Senate will remain out of reach for a long time coming.
Also, Florida is just depressing. This is THE crucial swing state and the fact that dems could win neither the senate seat or the governorship in a D+7 climate is just awful and does not bode well for 2020.
Finally, Donald Trump and the right wing media will now spend the next two years blaming everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) on house democrats. I guess the "good" news is that they can now stop pretending that Hillary Clinton is president and focus all of their wrath and conspiracy theories on Nancy Pelosi (probably George Soros as well).
