All I can do is send money. I don’t live in those states. Will the top be successful in recruiting and not blow it again like Heller is doing?

Patrick Morrisey in West Virginia, to put a solid constitutionalist in the Senate.

Picking up Democrat seats is great, but we MUST remove the amnesty Senators before they give away the country.

Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022

The key takeaway is that they moved 4 races towards the Republicans and only one race towards the Democrat.
Good news (for whatever Cook is worth).

It just so happens that I self-identify as a resident of those states. Amazing coincidence!

Indiana: This is too many candidates. Find the most conservative and get the word out! Republicans will host a competitive primary between U.S. Reps. Luke Messer and Todd Rokita, state Rep. Mike Braun No Rinos!

I see the have Ohio in the lean Dem category......I would be very surprised if Ohio gives Brown another term. Also, I am hoping that Florida will finally get rid of Nelson once and for all.....2018 is the best time to do so.

If Trump can oppose Flake today, I hope he can help in other states next November 2018 which he carried in 2016

Missouri:

Who’s the real conservative in this Republican Senate primary race? What about the 3rd party guy?

Josh Hawley, Republican, & state Rep. Paul Curtman
Libertarian activist Austin Petersen (Running for Senate seat - 3rd Party)

McCaskill has got to go.

I only used the 5 discussed in the article. So I would say that
MT will stay DNC
MI will stay DNC
FL will go RNC
WI will go DNC
OH will go RNC
ME will go RNC
PA will go RNC
VA will go DNC (I would love to be wrong on this one, but alas I won’t be).
NJ will go DNC

I have no doubt that Trump will be on Flake’s butt from now until he is primaries out. I really think Saturday (I think that is the rally in Phoenix) will tell a lot. If Trump bashes him at that Rally, then Trump is all in with getting rid of Flake.

Enough to beat Muchin? No. I believe that Joe will continue in the job in January 2019.
