Not too late for primary challenges!
I see two we’ll almost certainly lose. I don’t know of any sure pickups from a current Dem seat.
We might keep the senate only because trump’s on the ballot. If not for that I bet we’d lose it.
I wonder if Governor McMaster could challenge Linda?
Don’t have any alternatives to the Turtle.
The only good thing Mitch has done is get judicial nominees confirmed.
McSally seems highly vulnerable against Mark Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords, who will likely emphasize gun control in his campaign.
Doug Jones (D) Alabama should be toast, if Roy Moore doesn’t run again
Yup, I see McSally going as well as Gardner in CO.
Is Mo Brooks running against Jones?
Graham NEEDS to go where the hell is his primary contender!! If we are going to drain the swamp NOW is the time Trump will get these primary contenders over the finish line!! The American people are as ready as they will ever be to CLEAN HOUSE!!! If we don’t do it now these incumbents will be carried out on stretchers!!!
I suspect Mr Giffords will keep as quiet as possible about gun control until AFTER the election. And no one in the AZ media will call him on it.
McSally will try to run her campaign from DC and avoid any contact with talk radio. She is one of the world’s worst campaigners. I think it looks grim. I expect two Democrat senators from Arizona in 2021.
We better all figure out how to live in the world of zany Dems. Actually, it'll be more of the same in many ways. The 'pubs haven't improved budgeting or made government smaller (except less taxes and regulations for deep pocket donors)
My biggest fear is that it will descend into chaos if they try to confiscate guns and repeal the 2nd amendment. (I say that as someone who doesn't like guns, but understands why citizens should have the right to defend themselves)
Only two primary challengers!
That’s disgusting!
Incumbents not seeking re-election in 2020
Name Party State
Lamar Alexander Republican Party Republican Tennessee
Pat Roberts Republican Party Republican Kansas
Tom Udall Democratic Party Democratic New Mexico
Doug Jones (D-AL) will lose.
I think President Trump wins AZ by 8 or 9. His coattails will pull McSally (admittedly a weak candidate) over the line.
There are zero honorable US senators. I never vote for Collins, not for her opponent either.
The GOP wants to lose it.
Kelly vs McSally might be interesting.
McSally: I'm an Air Force pilot.
Kelly: I'm a Naval Aviator.
McSally: I flew Warthogs!
Kelly: I flew Intruders!
McSally: I'm a Senator!
Kelly: I'm an Astronaut!
The two-party system is a tightly limited club, controlled by big money interests.
Elections are a sham, for the most part. Frick or Frack are both in the club, and you aren't. The vote is then held up as validation of whatever the government decides to do.
