Normally, at midterms, the party in power loses; so as a mere referendum on Trump, this was a fail, and suggests 2020 will not be an easy D win, unless things change (which they always do).
It was a win for the Merkin public, which generally votes to balance the situation - balance is good - and despite tribalism, it seems it has done so this time. So I'ma call that good
This was similar to Reagan '82, Clinton '98 and Obama '10.
