They barely took the House, lost a Senate seat, and lost significant state seats in the first midterm against a president with a trifecta and a rocky economy. Abortion has become a gigantic millstone around their neck, and they can't figure out what to do with it. Their excuse for strategists aren't being listened to.
That was at the end of a redistricting cycle, in a Senate year favorable to Dems. Next election will be more difficult.
GOP have gerrymandered their way into a majority in the House, the Senate is pre-gerrymandered for them (because establishment Dems visibly abandoned the working class during and after NAFTA), and they don't even pretend to expect to get a straight popular majority in any upcoming Presidential elections.
They've abandoned democracy. They know they can't get a majority of popular votes in a straight-up count, and they know they don't need to. All they need to do is continue ratfucking the system and keep a strategic fringe endlessly outraged, and they're set.
