4. I don't think there's going to be any significant disappointment this time.

Biden wins easily and we retake the Senate by a vote or two.

I don't think we're going to pick off Senators like Cornyn or pick up states like Texas, so my expectations are already tempered a bit. Other than the races that are a bit of a reach, I think we pretty much win them all, similar to 2018.

Nate Silver's late warnings about Trump trending up in 2016 made me very nervous, but I still thought we'd win. I wasn't as surprised as some, though certainly as devastated.
