Republicans Lower Their Senate Expectations

https://politicalwire.com/2017/09/06/republicans-lower-senate-expectations/

"SNIP..........


National Journal: “Senate Republicans have begun downgrading their expectations for next year’s midterms, tempering hopes of significantly expanding their 52-seat majority to merely protecting their narrow margin and salvaging wounded senators damaged by intraparty scuffles.”

“Now, the number of promising targets has been cut nearly in half, while Republicans are fretting that they’re in deep danger of losing seats in Arizona and Nevada, where Sens. Jeff Flake and Dean Heller are fighting two-front wars that will damage their reelection chances.”

Said one GOP strategist: “The environment for Republicans is not good anywhere.”
