Yes she won California by too much and lost Texas by too little. Both meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
Democrats can flip the house in 2018 but may lose the Senate by even more. The house is where the action will be.
Here's an article by Nate Silver explaining how Trump is still ok at 35%. 25% might be the tipping point that finally shows Trump in trouble.
