Here in Florida, the GOP has now lost three of the four districts they specifically created through gerrymandering to help improve their seat count. One columnist (and I forget which one, since I'm bopping through the election updates) expressed her hope that this will be referred to as "dummymandering" from now on. Start carving up your safe red majority a little too finely in these districts in hopes of getting more seats, and you can find yourself losing them in a wave election - and it's harder to get them back from an incumbent, even if they favor you a little.
If Graham Nordone and Paxton both lose, and redistricting ends up costing the GOP some seats, and obviously the whole gas prices of it all....it will be interesting to see if there is any messaging that maybe President Trump made some bad choices heading into this election.
