Duh...
Don’t worry.

They always do...................
Wha hoppen to muh blue wave?
And yet all at risk Democrat Senators are rated at worst as Toss Up. Despite Trump carrying the state and certain Dems are trailing in polls.

SHEESE!
Eight R’s up vs. 24 for D’s (approx.).
It’s going to be a BLOODBATH for the Dems in November.
A frickin’ honest to God bloodbath!
Tester in Montana is dragging his boat anchor and unpopular, another R gain
“For the first time, it appeared that the Democrats had a plausible path to winning control of the U.S. Senate in 2018.”
No serious analyst or person believed that then. Not even PLAUSIBLE.
Everyone knew immediately after the 2016 election that there were 10 Dim seats up in 2018 from states won by Trump. And, overall, there were 24 Dim seats to 9 GOP seats up in 2018.
A person would have to be pretty stupid to think Dims have a chance to gain the Senate.
But that won’t stop the GOP from trying to scare people into believing it.
Election Night is going to be as fun as it was in 2016.
If the GOP doesn’t f*** this up (I know, I know) they could easily get to 58, and if there’s peace in Korea, the economy is still booming, AND if DJT makes a bold move on the border, 60 is not out of the question.
But what they have to do is BACK TRUMP’S PLAY ALL THE WAY, and I don’t think they have it in them.
Republicans who do not deserve it will see no loses (sorry Democdats but even Heller is ahead and gaining) and will pick up senate seats in Ohio Indiana North Dakota West Virginia Florida Pennsylvania Florida Montana Missouri for sure and probably New Jersey and Mjchigan - because Blacks who gave Truml the state wi do it again.
[In West Virginia, Joe Manchin’s personal popularity may be enough to overcome the fact that President Trump carried the state by 42 points — but it will probably be very close.]
A 50/50 split would be perfect, maybe actually better for Trump as he’d be free then to deal equally with either party and put the RINOs and Never Trumpers in their place. With a 50/50, they could be done with McConnell and find someone agreeable to everyone, someone endorsed by Trump.
...and, yes, figure Heller defeated in Nevada. While I am very unlikely to vote for the Democrat, I am absolutely sure I will NEVER vote for Heller. I seriously doubt this Never Trumper amnesty lover has any chance of winning.
You would need at least eighty Republicans in the senator to counter the Demonrat and rino coalition.
Poll out in WV (Gravis/Brietbart) has Crapchin up by 13 points.
They also polled a 3-way race with sore loser Don Blankenship, he is challenging the sore loser law in court, he would draw 5%, he takes 2 poinst from Manchin and 1 from the Republican, so his evil plan to help Manchin might actually not, if he succeeds in getting on the ballot, which he shouldn’t.
Talk about your DUH! Announcement... anyone with the most rudimentary understanding of us politics could have told you before the 2016 election that R’s will gain seats in the 18 senate midterms... just look at the map and you know that.
No matter how enthusiastic Voters are there are not enough of them in the states up for Dems to pick up senate seats.
