If Republican US Senators in AK,CO,LA,MT,and NC were to resign ASAP, Democrats could gain 8 seats

due to these States having Democratic Governors.
AK- Walker is an Independent either appoints an Independent who will caucus with the Democrats or an actual Democrat Begich and Berkowitz. 51D
CO- Hickenlooper appoints either Udall,Ken or John Salazar, his former Lt Governor Joe Garcia or former 4th District Congresswoman Betsy Markey. 52D
LA- Bel Edwards appoints both of the Landrieu's Mary and Mitch. 54D
MT- Bullock appoints former state Auditor Jim Morrison. 55D
NC- Cooper appoints Hagan and Cowell. 57D
If these appointed Democratic incumbents win the 2018 Special Elections along with Special Elections in AZ and MS. 59D
Democrats pick up AZ,MS-if Wicker loses in the Republican primary,NE,TN,TX,UT-if McMullin runs and takes half of the votes away from Hatch ,and WY if Barrasso loses in the Republican primary. 66D
66 Democratic US Senators -1 vote short of removing Trump from office. Susan Collins-ME has to be the YES vote for removal.

A lot of Republican Senators (or Reps)haven't just switched over to be a Democrat after the Republican Party now accepts pedophiles, sexual predators, con artists, KKK, Neo-Nazi's, white supremacist, money launderers, russians , and putin. I'm really surprised some real Americans in their party haven't had enough of what their party has been dragged down to now, and switched sides. And because of Trump alone, because of how horribly bad he's gotten, and dangerous he is to this country. Guess there isn't any real Americans left in their hate group after all. Just a lot of really bad people. And they hate women too.
