As the political environment continues to favor Democrats and likely to rob Republicans of their majority in the U.S. House and a handful of gubernatorial seats, the conventional wisdom is that the fate of the GOP’s Senate majority will rest more on political geography than the way the partisan winds are blowing. Maybe.
The map continues to favor Republicans as Democrats are defending 10 seats in states that President Trump carried, four of which are in the Toss Up column, while two others are in Lean Democratic. In keeping with the notion that geography is destiny this cycle, the one Republican-held seat (Nevada) that Hillary Clinton carried in 2016 is in the Toss Up column. But, Democrats have managed to put three more Republican seats in play: the open seats in Arizona (Trump +4) and Tennessee (Trump +26), and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in Texas (Trump +9) into play. This raises the question as to whether political geography really will dictate the fate of the Senate majority.

We better not, I don’t want Arizona to be the first state to have a bisexual senator.
A Democrat up nine is "safe" though.
The dems will lose all three by double digits
Cook predicted a Crooked landslide including Congress. They are as relevant as Sabato or 538. The republican winning in Texas for first time in 138 years proves all politics is local.
We are going to add seats in the Senate.
Cruz will win TX easily.
yep, and RCP is no better:

Forty “toss ups” and 38 are controlled now by the GOP.
My wife drove out to Abilene yesterday to see her mom. She said all she saw were Ted Cruz signs. These are the voters. And when people call them from a polling firm, they hang up. Fools in the media.....they didn’t learn with Wendy Davis. They never learn. And being on the LEFT means never having to say your’e wrong or sorry. Just move on to the next manufactured crisis.......
I wonder who the next Democrat candidate in Texas will be......Pablo Anderson? Jose Jones? How bout Chato Smith? LOL.........”Beto” O’Rourke. What a phoney.....
He may be a phony, but people in TX don’t know that yet.
#2. She’s also a communist sympathizer. look up her background at “www.keywiki.org” under her name.
Our state is being invaded Californians. And like the damn californians stay.
True this. Most conservatives I know
don’t respond to polls. When they do,
they purposely try to aggravate the
the pollster, so accurate polls are a
misnomer. I love giving them a hard
time, as 90% of them are without a
doubt, leftward-leaning.
I trust LS
>>>He may be a phony, but people in TX don’t know that yet.<<<
Most do. Which is why Cruz will win.....easily. This Beto clown is just another Wendy Davis.
