1. Will the D governors appoint D senators? Hope so.

All gloves are off now.

2. Since when are these people resigning?

3. They probably aren't

Just more of the never-ending "what if" game...

4. That's what I thought.

This type of speculation is pointless.

5. Yes. I sort of wish that would stop and we focus instead on things that we can impact.

If one of those Senators considered resigning, the pressure for them not to from republicans would be intense. Let's instead focus on how we hold our 22 Senate seats that are up in 2018 and maybe win a couple of the 8 republican seats that are up.

6. The best case scenario for the Democrats is holding onto all of the 22 Democratic held

US Senate seats that are up in 2018 plus pick up Republican held seats in AZ,NV,and TX to get to 51 seats.
The Trump State Democratic US Senators up for re-election in 2018- FL,IN,MI,MO,MT,ND,OH,PA,WV,and WI have a greater than 50 percent chance of winning re-election. Democrats have a 50 percent chance of winning AZ and NV. TX will be a slight uphill battle, it will take Cruz-R to make a gaffe.

7. We'll never get rid of Toomey that easily.

He was just reelected and is more disgusting than ever. Wolf will be gone before Toomey.

8. Republican incumbents who narrowly won re-election in 2016 were

Blunt-MO,Toomey-PA,and Johnson-WI.
Blunt's,Toomey's, and Johnson's margin of victory in 2016 was narrower than their 2010 margin of victory.
These Republican US Senators are vulnerable in 2022.
