I think that the fact that this is going down now suggests that the repubs are afraid of that. Salviati Jun 2018 #6

All or almost all democrats would have to keep their seats, and there are potential pickups in TN, NV, and AZ.

Win an Arizona seat, Nevada and Tennessee, that gives Dems 52. Then hold North Dakota, Indiana, West Virginia, Missouri and Florida, or at worst, only lose one, which would leave them with a 51-49 advantage.

The Alabama stunner certainly made the math easier. The left WILL flip enough seats to take the majority. The question is whether the right will flip enough blue seats red to negate our gains. Places like Montana and North Dakota are very winnable for them. And they are only playing defense on eight seats while we are defending 25 I think???
