Given their structural disadvantages in the Senate I think you can argue Democrats are pretty lucky to have as many as 50 seats right now. Both GA races could easily have gone the other way, NH in 2016 was *very* close, strong D candidates held on in red WV, OH, MT in 2018.

@NateSilver538 Not only that, but our route to 50 seats was wildly improbable. Our majority depends on a senator from a Trump +40 state, a Trump +20 state, and two from a special election in Georgia.
@Tyler_The_Wise @Shane_maps @NateSilver538 NC and IA were not out of the realm of possibility either.
@staxringold @Tyler_The_Wise @Shane_maps @NateSilver538 NC Senate seat was very possible if the candidate hadn't pulled a John Edwards and cheated on his wife during the campaign.
