I would hope you are right, especially if we still have a GOP president. But a 60 vote filibuster proof majority by 2022? I won't hold my breath.

Like listing Doug Jones' seat in Alabama as Slight Republican. I love what Doug Jones did last December, but as long as he isn't running against a child molester in 2020, the Republican will likely win by double digits.

Mark Kirk(R-IL) was elected in Solid Democratic Illinois in 2010 against a tarnished Democratic opponent. In 2016, Kirk(R-IL) lost re-election by a 15 percent margin against a sitting Democratic US House member.
Could Doug Jones(D-AL) lose re-election in 2020 by a double digit margin against a non controversial top tier Republican challenger?
