I like how the media plans to act as though a big Democratic win in the 2018 midterms would be unprecedented and unique to President Trump, even though we all recall what happened in 2010 during Obama’s second year in the White House.

I would caution republicans to be careful about gloating about that 2010 success that got the republicans the majority.

That victory came as a result of the "sacrifice" that democrats were willing to make to get their longest running wet dream passed. Universal health care was something that they were willing to give their souls in order to get it into law. So, though they knew that ACA was very unpopular, they decided that it was still worth sacrificing their majority in order to get it done. And that's how republicans were "able" to win the majority in congress. Democrats were willing to "cross that bridge" when they got to it. That bridge was not passable, but they still got one of their biggest programs and wet-dreams into law.

Republicans don't have the same scenario with the tax cuts, but democrats are going to try to try to turn it into the same kind of earth-shaking/apocalyptic event that took them out of control of congress. With success, which can't fail, tax cuts can take democrats further into the depths of losers-ville.

IN any case, it's worth noting that democrats are still very bitter about 2010, and again, 2016, and will do whatever it takes to with congress and the presidency back. It's why the phony Trump/Russia dossier was fabricated by the DNC andn Hillary and the Obama administration, with the help of the fusionGPS spy-gang.
