Believe it or not, the 2018 election is only months away. And while talking heads and media elites focus exclusively on Republican election challenges, the electoral map is chock-full of vulnerable Democratic candidates running in Trump territory. Here are the top Democrats poised for 2018 defeat:
1. Sen. Claire McCaskill (Democrat, Missouri)
The definition of a corrupt career politician, Sen. McCaskill is a personification of the Washington swamp and the Democratic Party’s most vulnerable incumbent. Who can forget her failure to pay $287,000 in property taxes on a private plane? Or using $40 million in government subsidies to boost her husband’s real estate business?
Even her fellow Democrats have referred to Sen. McCaskill as “corrupt,” making her a boon to opposition researchers.
And it’s taken on a toll on her approval ratings in Missouri. Only 42 percent of Missourians approve of Sen. McCaskill, after she was first elected to the Senate with only 54 percent of the vote against a weakened Todd Akin. (Akin infamously coined the phrase “legitimate rape,” which the mainstream media ruthlessly leveraged to delegitimize him.)
Her blind “resistance” against President Trump, who won Missouri by a whopping 18.5 percent (over 500,000 votes) in 2016, only makes matters worse. Sen. McCaskill has voted against the president nearly 60 percent of the time, giving Republicans very clear attack lines to defeat her in 2018.
2. Sen. Bill Nelson (Democrat, Florida)
Poor Bill Nelson. Reelection was always going to be an uphill battle in a state that President Trump won by roughly 120,000 votes, and former Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) likely entrance into the race only makes the hill steeper.

There was massive voter intimidation in the race. It didn’t suppress the vote, instead it rallied the vote.
There was 24/7 non-stop ads of “vote as if your life depends on it because Moore will bring back the klan”, and the “vote or die” billboards and yard signs.
Then there was the collusion between the highway 31 PAC, gloria allred, and the jones campaign.
There were numerous reports of voter fraud that the SoS suppressed to include the televised claim of “people coming from all over the U.S. to vote for jones”. The SoS in that instance claimed the kid “misspoke out of excitement”.
But before all that there was the fact that mitch the bitch never backed Moore because the bitch’s hand picked sock puppet (luther strange) lost the primary.
Feinstein has announced she’s running because, you know, we don’t have enough 90 year olds in the Senate. But remember, here deep behind enemy lines it will be the top two rats who square off in the general. She’s well thought of here. My best guess is she willvanquish the announced hack competitors and win in the general. Assuming she doesn’t die because she’s really really old.
Top two rats in the primary, that is. I’m not sure there’s even a Republican running
I’d say certainly Donnelly.
Tammy Baldwin from Wisconsin should be in the top 3 Senate seats targeted for defeat in 2018. Hopefully the good people from Wisconsin are through with her.
Nelson in Florida may not be completely toast...
All the old biddies in South Florida would vote for him even if he was dead...
Moore was extremely unpopular with many republicans in Alabama. I can not stand the man, although I did hold my nose and vote for him. I am actually glad he lost. He would have just made a fool of himself as usual. This has nothing to do with the sexual stuff. He is just a glory hound.
There will not be any refunds attributable to the new tax law prior to the 2018 election since 2018 refunds will apply to 2017 taxes. There will be less withholdings in 2018, though. Hopefully, the GOP will get credit for that.
Wisconsin is hoping to get rid of Tammy Baldwin (D, WI, Lesbians First, Veteran Hater)
Rumor has it we have a good chance of shedding her! On, Wisconsin! :)
I’ve never heard the term Lapland before. Where is it?
Two good Candidates for the (R) running against Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin:
Leah Vukmir and (Veteran) Kevin Nichols. I prefer Leah, but that Nichols sure is a cutie, LOL!
Lapland is where Missouri “laps over” into Arkansas.
See my posts 49 and 51!
On, Wisconsin!
Democrats will lose eight to twelve American people, by a good majority, have had it with Democrat low life, scum and vermin humnanity. Case closed.
John Tester in Montana.
Donald, come to Michigan and help get rid of Stabenow.
The bootheel? I went to SEMO with several guys from those towns. Good people. I remember a guy from Caruthersville who, when told “you can’t do that” would say “watch me.”
Baris said his polling shows Scott 5 points ahead of Nelson.
Remember Scott Brown? Dems had a candidate (Coakley) who was an entitled crappy campaigner who thought it was an automatic win (hey, it’s MA, DEMS always win...right?).
“West Virginia - Joe Manchin”
Me thinks the guy is tired of DC, I see no other reason he hasn’t crossed the isle and changed parties. That or New York’s resident crooked Senate Leader has threatened him with his life. Don’t put it by Chuckie he is an evil POS.
