I do believe you're right, and it's clear he knew this kind of stuff could happen from your speech. But 2018 did happen.

We should not panic, but neither should we assume everything is fine. Panic, no. Outrage, yes.

For the moment, we'll need to at least wait a couple hours to see where things move from here, and what the president has to say about it. We'll see what the proper course of action is when we have a bit more information.

I'll be optimistic for now as well, though we should all try to be prepared for whatever the future holds.

The reason we held the Senate in 2018 though was mainly due to the blowout victory in 2016. We didn't have as many contentious seats to try to hold in 2018.
