Without a proper foil (you can only whine about Retired Obama and Heart(?)broken Hillary for so long in 2018), Trump made the election a referendum on his own performance. He explicitly encouraged this [time.com].
Polling showed an increase in Republican enthusiasm following the Kavanaugh hearings. Midterm turnout was unusually high. And yet the Democrats still gained seats. We can mostly ignore the Senate results for the reasons stated above.
Many of Trump's Republican supporters are reluctant supporters. His devoted base is a smaller portion of the electorate.
All Democrats need to do to win in 2020 is run someone who can avoid completely alienating Republicans, and can siphon off the "mainstream" ones (the Jeb Bush supporters/swamp creatures). Or let Trump be his own worst enemy and scare them off in some other direction, no matter who the Democrat is.
Note that I am not predicting a Democratic win in 2020. A lot can happen in 2 years. But I believe Trump can pull a Jimmy Carter.
