Hypothetically, if the economy was like it was in 2008/2010
How many total seats do you see us picking up in the house this past election? I see it as the landscape will be in 2020 (the economy will almost certainly be worse then than it is now, and we've already used up all of our normal anti-recession moves).
Gerrymandering included, I would assume we would have gained 50/55 seats in the house, and maybe a +1/+2 majority in the Senate.
I have a feeling that 2020 may be very similar to 2008, with the country revolting against Trump (Bush), going for someone who runs on a hope/change platform, and with us taking the Senate/White House and holding the House. (All assuming everyone GOTV!)
