CNN) — Voter enthusiasm for the 2020 presidential election is already sky high. With all the coverage of Beto O'Rourke's counter climbing and Pete Buttigieg's speaking approximately 200 languages, you might forget that 34 Senate seats are also up for election. You can bet those races will soon be hotter than a firecracker, given the Senate's power to confirm Cabinet members and federal judges -- such as the justices who sit on the Supreme Court.

Republicans have a better shot than not of maintaining control of the Senate in 2020. However, recent trends indicate that the possibility of a clean sweep for either side (i.e. taking the presidency and the Senate) is higher than it's ever been.

Democrats need only a net gain of three Senate seats to win control, if they win the presidency. In such a case, the vice president would break the tie. With Republicans controlling 22 of the 34 seats up for election, Democrats have, in theory, a wide playing field from which to choose.

The problem for Democrats is that the biggest trend in Senate elections is straight ticket voting. When you cast a ballot for one party on one part of the ticket in recent elections, the chance of voting for that same party on other parts of the ticket is significantly higher than it used to be.

This is a fairly long read, but there is a lot information there. Very interesting, but it is the future. Who knows? One thing I believe, McConnell knows all about this. That is why he is making statements about not allowing any so called, "socialist" legislation to pass. He deeply believes that the Republicans will maintain control of the Senate after 2020's election. This article clearly shows why he has this belief. Further, this information is no real secret. It is there for all to see.

7. I would paint GOP Senate candidates

with Trump paint, I would educate the voters on the lawlessness of the Trump administration - and at the end convince them that Trump gave anal birth to the GOP candidates.
