There are 35 seats up in 2018, of which 26 are held by Democrats. ....................
I’m very impressed by NPR’s “concern” for the Republican’s electoral prospects. . .
It would be easy enough to generate CONSERVATIVE enthusiasm. All Mitch and the Rinos need do is to pass conservative measures and quit being the whipping boys for the Left and their overlords in the media.
And of those 26 maybe half a dozen are really at risk of flipping to the Republicans. The GOP seems to be shooting themselves in the foot with Blankenship in West Virginia, Hawley being in the middle of the Greitens fiasco in Missouri, and the incredibly divisive primary in Indiana. A couple of more bad candidate, a major gaff during the election or two, and the GOP is scrambling to keep their majority.

Obviously you would want to look at them individually, but just generically, the math isn’t adding up.
If all incumbants are back up for re-election and incumbants win their seats back 80% of the time, then you’ve got 7 seats that are likely to swing, and if nearly 75% of those seats are democrat, then this blue wave needs to be a super tsunami.
