Democrats guide to regaining control of the US Senate is re-electing

highly vulnerable Democratic incumbents in
FL(Nelson-D)-if Scott-R decides to run.
IN(Donnelly-D)
MO (McCaskill-D)
MT (Tester-D)
ND (Heitkamp-D)
OH (Brown-D)
WI (Baldwin-D)
defeating highly vulnerable Republican incumbents in
AZ (Flake-R)Sinema-D
NV (Heller-R)Rosen-D
plus winning Republican held seats in strong red states in
AL-Moore-R vs Jones-D
TN-Blackburn-R vs Mackler-D
TX-Cruz-R vs O'Rourke-D

We should first try to help Jones-D win in AL in 12/12/2017, then re-elect every Democratic incumbent US Senator up for re-election in 2018 and help Sinema-D win in AZ and Rosen-D win in NV. or re-elect every Democratic incumbent US Senator up for re-election in 2018 and help Sinema-D win in AZ and Rosen-D win in NV and Mackler-D win in TN or O'Rourke-D win in TX.

Than Alabama. Nevada isn’t solid enough blue to be reliable in an off-brand year, but people are pissed at Trump, the base is enthusiastic, and most/most Republicans — regardless of what they say on the phone — are feeling let down enough by a Full Republican Holy Government of Coal Mining Holiness that they wont come out to vote.

It will be in 2020 when Democrats regain control of the US Senate. We hold onto every Democratic held US Senate seat including VA-Warner-D,NH-Shaheen-NH,MN-Franken-D,and MI-Peters-D and pick up CO,NC,ME-if Collins leaves the US Senate or AZ-McCain-R vacancy.

They're running ads against her early evening during Jeopardy, as being anti-tax reform. It's on the Fox channel as well, so they must be targeting us old farts in particular. I haven't checked who's funding the ads, but I was surprised they've already started.
