Maybe as you say, crazed GOP fundraiser convinced Daines he is about to lose the election. Or maybe that race really is close. I was actually thinking about contributing to Daines. I definitely wasn't going to click on a link and put my name on a list forever. I got a phone number to send a contribution from one of Daines's offices. I left a message and they never called me back.
Okay, original poster. Got it. To be clear, my chart is not showing a prediction of how GOP senators will fare in 2020. It shows the state, candidate Trump's margin of victory/loss in 2016, the state's Cook PVI rating, and websites of GOP candidates. Basically the first three rows are to show how Republican a state is and how well Trump did, and then assess that against all the posts around here saying "Trump can't win Nevada." Or "Virginia is deep blue." With the data laid out, it shows the Senate map isn't overwhelming like some claim it is.
