Great question. Here you go:
Let’s see, small pickup in seats. Yep. Enough to flip the House, fortunately, but nothing like a landslide. And losing ground in the Senate. (Yes, I know there’s a reason for that.)
Next, good raw numbers but not a big swing in seats.

Yep.
Now the next bit, about a huge trumpeting of this election as a turning point, that not so much. People, many in this very thread, seem to have their heads on straight in terms of understanding the limited value of what was accomplished. I suspect this might have been different if Florida/Georgia governors and the Beto/Cruz races had gone the other way.
And then 2 years of nothing due to divided government…well, that’s already been said in this thread repeatedly.
Hopefully I was wrong about the next bit, too…that in 2020 the passion will have died out due to fatigue from the divided-government stalemate and posturing. We’ll see.
