"Democrats are defending ten seats in states won by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, while Republicans are only defending one seat in a state won by Hillary Clinton in 2016."

Yes, it is true. The Senate is very much in play. But the Republicans only have nominal control, not effective control, right now. Any legislation or appointment can be stopped by a John McCain or Jeff Flake. Wouldn't be possible if the Republicans close in on 60 seats.

You make an excellent point. Just look at the dripping hatred McCain has for not only the President but for the 65 million who voted for the President.

I have posted for years that McCain is elected by democrat crossovers in the GOP primaries and that in the general, the AZ electorate has nowhere else to go, so McCain sails in.

AZ is a red state, I can’t believe they would willingly elect this maniac to the US Senate over and over unless there was no one else to vote for. Having democrats crossover and vote for McCain in the GOP primary ensures there is no one else to vote for in the general.
