I was just thinking about this. Trump now essentially has a scapegoat with the Dems controlling the house.

"Things not going well? No progress being made? It's the Dems' fault!"

And if I know the Dems like I think I do, they will spend their time w/ House majority coming up with more Russian conspiracy theories, investigations into Trump, and trying to obstruct what he does, which will only work to create a voter backlash against them come 2020.

I agree with this. This is a hollow victory for the Democrats, and I don't think it will really help their chances in 2020, especially with Pelosi possibly becoming the Speaker of the House again.

Din't stop Trump from getting elected.  Republicans did the same thing with Obama then blamed everything on him.  Dems probably will just follow the same gameplan and flood the news with how ineffective Trump is even if they become obstructionist.  Whoever gets their message out the best will probably be the winner in 2020.  What Trump has to make sure of is that the economy stays strong.  If it goes south then he goes south no matter who he tries to blame.
