1. There are a bunch of vulnerable Dems on that list.

But Flake and Heller could go. I wonder if Nebraska could be a get? That might be why Sanders is working that mayoral race that has everyone in such a lather....

Totally off topic, but Luther Strange is the best super villain name ever.

4. I think you mean won "with" not "by"

"By" suggests the margin of victory. "With" indicates the size of the vote they got.

There's a big difference between Dean Heller winning "by" 46 percent and his winning "with" 46 percent.

8. Ted Cruz could be beaten if they put a little money and imagination into the race.

He only won with 57% in his last race... and as we saw in Kansas and Georgia, that is not an insurmountable lead.

12. Cruz's Democratic opponent in that race- Sadler-a political nobody got 41% of the vote in that race.

Castro and O'Rourke are more well known and experienced. They can bring down Cruz's percentage of votes from 57 to 52 percent of the popular vote. 52 percent is what Trump got in TX in 2016.

10. Strange is up for re-election in 2017. Ivey moved it to 12/12/2017, primary 8/15 and runoff 9/26.

Democrats should do everything to help the Democratic nominee for the AL US Senate Race to exceed expectations. Force the Republicans to waste resources in a US Senate Race that Republicans (Shelby/Sessions) won with over 60 percent of the popular vote.

If she does, she will win.

Kid Rock nor Crappy Pants Nugent stand a chance if they suck Dump's ass like they did the other day.
