Why? 2018 is going to be as much of a bloodbath for the Dems as any other mid-term election. I cannot see them turning things around that fast…baby 2022, but I do not want to sound overly optimistic…

Montana, North Dakota, and Indiana could very likely move back into the GOP column in 2018. But Nevada and, I think, Arizona could be Democratic pick ups. Flake in Arizona is likely going to see a primary challenge, and Heller remains a Republican worth watching as Nevada has been something of a swing state of late. West (by Gawd) Virginia is an interesting one because Manchin won with 61% of the vote in 2012, so that might be a hold despite how the state votes in presidential elections. Ohio and Florida (and maybe Pennsylvania) could be toss up elections, but the Democrat will have the incumbent’s advantage.

And all of this depends on Trump being a normal president. If/when (what’s left of) his popularity craters, he could easily take the GOP down with him. At least, hopefully.
