This election is for the Democrats what The Battle Of Midway was for the Imperial Japanese Navy.

I like that analogy and hope you are right.

Evidence: There has been a staggering number of elected Democrats who have lost their seats since Obama was elected.

From Walter Lord's "Incredible Victory".

"By any ordinary standard they were hopelessly outclassed... They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war. More than that, they added a new name—Midway—to that small list that inspires men by shining example. Like Marathon, the Armada, the Marne, a few others, Midway showed that every once in a while 'what must be' need not be at all. Even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit—a magic blend of skill, faith and valor—that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory."

I really believe there are some similarities between the two. Trump was the underdog and outnumbered. Hillary had Bill, Obama, the MSM and pop culture.

The Dems looked confident to win the White House and the Senate, thus ensuring a Supreme Court and a further advancement of the progressive agenda that would last for generations.

Trump however had a crack intelligence team that knew Hillary was vulnerable and planned for an unexpected ambush which succeeded against all odds.

We win the White House, retain the House and Senate. Soon the Supreme Court will be ours. The Dems offense has ended along with their loss of the initiative. Our counterattack will soon begin.

I truly believe what happened was a miracle. Time for Team Trump to go on offense to such an extent that the Dems will never recover.
