Anyone who thinks Ingraham would get destroyed in a midterm year has no clue how popular she is with the GOP base. She's roughly akin to the Virgin Mary to Appalachian voters and will get huge turnout from the GOP areas. Additionally, she has lots of money, name recognition, and is well liked by the establishment and the DC suburb crowd.
Of course a Republican is unlikely to win in Virginia again, there's a lot more Democrats there now. However, a landslide Kaine victory is a liberal pipe dream. She would probably lose by 3-5 points; not as tight as Gillespie made 2014, but better than Trump did.
If Trump got 1.75 million Virginia voters to vote for him I guarantee Ingraham will get 1.25 to show up in a midterm year, and that's enough to prevent a landslide and force Kaine to run a strong race.
