Actually, I find merit in this. I think it's a fair point for at least 45 Seats + Schumer.
However, I don't think it's exactly 1:1. Due to geography, Senate Democrats need Sinema, Manchin and Tester much more than they need the party. Trump managed to rid or stop his enemies in deep red states Tennessee, Nebraska, South Carolina, etc. Those states would have been red anyway. Being heavy handed in Arizona came with a cost, and Collins (Maine) and Gardner (Colorado) are in deep electoral trouble.
