I disagree, I am looking at it from an analyst's perspective. If they had failed to re-take either chamber, it would be a signal that Republicans had indeed created a permanent majority of sorts in Congress, and the Dems would have to be asking themselves what they could stand for that people would vote for. They might have spent another decade in the wilderness pondering that question.
However, that didn't happen, and now it looks like Dems will capture both chambers and it will be Republicans who will have to spend at least the next couple of years in the wilderness wondering what they stand for.
