Most of the -R losses seem to be neocons, which is good news. I see Walker lost a re-election in Wisconsin. Better to see the (bad) history of the party lose than the future.
Lose a neocon Walker, gain a modern Greg Pence, etc. Cruz bent the knee at the last minute to barely win which is a lesson to every legacy -R still left in the party.
As a generalization the more anti-trump the -R the more likely they lost, which is good news. The party is getting dragged kicking and screaming into the current century, which is good.

I hate to see Dems wining anything right now, but we can be grateful for every neocon chased out of Washington.

Walker can only blame himself for his loss. They pulled the same election fraud when he ran eight years ago. Then they did it again in his recall. And yet again when he ran for reelection the first time. All three of those times he was clever enough to outwit them and win anyway but eventually cleverness fails. He should have conducted mass arrests after the recall of pretty much every election official in Milwaukee and Madison. Then he would have had no problems.
Evil prospers when it isn't punished. Once they figure out that cheating is all upside, it either works or if it doesn't there isn't any price to pay it is rational to cheat. This is part of the general slide into lawlessness.

From what I understand the Foxconn boondoggle hurt him a lot. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say.
You are correct that evil prospers when good people do nothing, but I'm going to disagree with you on who occupies either position. Voter turnout was high, which tells me that good people were out doing something.
