Democrats hold onto FL,MI,OH,PA,WV,and WI and pick up NV. 45D
Democrats will lose IN. MO,MT,and ND will go either way. Democrats could also pick up AZ-if Flake loses in the Republican primary and a top tier Democrat-Sinema-D runs. Worse case scenario for Democrats is a net loss of 3 seats.

Democrats will pick up AK-if Berkowitz-D runs,CO,GA-if Ossoff-D runs,ME-if Collins is not on the ballot,MT-if Bullock-D runs,and NC.

1. Way too long-term to estimate...

...you have no clue who the 2020 candidates will be.

[nycbos]

2. Lets worry about Virgina and New Jersey this year...

... and 2018 before we talk about 2020

3. long time

not even 100 days into the shitshow. the descent into fascism has barely begun.

at this point, who even knows what the criteria will be to vote in the 2020 elections, assuming they are still held as scheduled?

if we don't stop the hemorrhaging in 2018, don't expect it to turn around in 2020.

4. In order to stop the hemorrhaging in 2018 we need to make sure Republicans nominate the most

right-wing and controversial candidate in IN,MO,MT,and ND. Democratic incumbents in FL,MI,OH,PA,WV,and WI are going to win re-election regardless of who the Republicans nominate. Democrats could pick up AZ-if a top tier Democrat(Sinema or Gallego) runs and Flake loses the Republican nomination and NV-if a top tier Democrat (Titus or Kihuen) runs. Democrats need to first nominate a top tier candidate for the December 2017 AL US Senate Special Election and make sure the Republicans nominate the most unelectable candidate for the 2017 AL US Senate Race.
