the very real possibility that Democrats will seize control of the upper chamber in November 2018. No. Very unlikely with 25 seats to defend vs. 8.

I agree, and I think a read into this for the House is equally as lame.
Folks want what Trump is trying to give them.
I don’t think they’re dumb enough to block him in the House and Senate.
Of course the GOPe hasn’t weighed in yet. It’s quite likely they’ll be on the Democrats side once again, just like yesterday.

Thank you....had enough of this nonsense that the GOP is going to lose the senate in 18. The dems need to defend 25 seats. That said I do hope Kennedy retires after this term.

Not as unlikely as you might think. Dem turnout has been massive in all the special elections. They are energized and organized. The replacement of Corker and Flake give the Dems the opportunity to take these two seats. Unless the GOP can prove it can govern, there is a very real possibility the Dems can take over Congress in 2018.
12 of the 25 Dem seats are considered safe compared to 4 of the Reps. A lot will depend on whom the Reps select to run against Tester, McCaskill, Donnelly, Mancin, Heitkamp, and Baldwin, i.e., those I consider to be the most vulnerable. Heller is going to have a hard time being reelected.

I agree that the GOP will probably hold the senate majority in 2018. But why wait if you have a sure majority now? Notice how carefully they set up the ambush for Moore. They shut up the accusers until it was too late to change the name on the ballot, and then they all magically appeared. Compare that to the GOP buffoonery.
