I think he lucked out more than anything. The 2022 midterms were to democrats what the 2016 election was to republicans. The polling underestimated a significant demographic and the party that was supposed to win let an unpopular candidate dictate the strategy.
2016 - Sure Hillary isn't popular, but this country would NEVER elect a guy like Trump!
2022 - Sure Trump isn't popular, but this country would NEVER vote for democrats while Biden is so unpopular and the economy is blah blah blah.
BAM! Plans shattered by a demographic you overlooked.
If Trump followed his loss in 2020 by dropping dead, or getting abducted by aliens or otherwise not being the focal point of GOP then the GOP gets their red wave in 2022. Trump has a slim victory in 2016 and non stop losses since then and right now the left is crossing their fingers that he's going to screw the GOP in 2024, as well. Keep in mind too that democrats vote early and by mail and the GOP has stupidly convinced their supporters to completely refuse this benefit, thanks to Trump and his narratives.
Lordy, if Trump buys the Buffalo Bills in 2014 who knows where we are right now. Maybe Biden gets a term from 2016-2020 on Obama's coattails and we're currently in term 1 of another republican right now.
