Two likely scenarios for Democrats regaining control of the US Senate after 2018.

Assuming Democrats keep every Democratic held US Senate seat up in 2018 (MO,IN,ND,OH,FL,etc) and gain AZ and NV, there are two likely scenarios for Democrats regaining control of the US Senate after 2018.
1)McCain-AZ resignation or demise in late 2017/early 2018.- Special Election will take place in November 2018, Republicans are likely to nominate a Tea Party candidate, Democrats will nominate Greg Stanton or Mark Kelly.
2)A three way race in UT between Hatch-R,McMullin-I,and the Democratic nominee.(Matheson)
