I don’t think we’ve ever failed to pick up a rat seat in consecutive cycle’s before.

Going two cycles would be without precedence in the era of popularly-elected Senators (I double-checked that, even in the midst of the horrific year of 1936, we took an open Dem seat — in Massachusetts, and 1964 in CA, 1974 in NV, etc).
