She cannot put a happy face on this

the GOP was spanked thoroughly

they went from clear majorities in the house and Senate to being a minority in both (probably)

they lost the majority of governorships and the number of state legislators that are dems is now a clear majority for them too

this was after intensive redistricting to ensure a republican majority---in those other years Democrats had control of the redistricting. Republicans that should have been safe are now out on the street

The fact of the matter is the GOP stopped being conservative a couple of years after it came into power. It became government. And conservatism died within it somewhere. There's no good spin to put on that development.
