In 2010 the GOP won the senate race in 9 states that Obama won in 2008, as well as the Senate race in Missouri, which in 2008 went for McCain by less than one fifth of one percentage point.
In 2014, the GOP won the senate race in 3 states that Obama won in 2012, and a fourth in a state that Obama won in 2008 but lost in 2012.
In 2006, the Democratic Party won the senate race in 9 states that Bush won in 2004, while the GOP won a single Senate race in a Kerry state.
the 2018 statistic you mentioned is daunting for dems but not a surefire guarantee that those states will oust their Democratic Senators so quickly just because they went Trump.
