Which states should Democrats not compete for the Senate in 2018?

============

In my opinion, they should search for a Doug Jones-type candidate in Mississippi because Bannon has threatened to primary Wicker? Even if Wicker wins, he would be weakened by a primary race.

Also, Deb Fischer in Nebraska may not be as strong as some folks might think? Nebraska has a history of electing Democratic Senators, as least going back to Bob Kerrey. Democrats should compete.

There is a very good chance of winning Tennessee with Bredenson. He is well-known and well-liked in the state.

Nevada is considered a very possible pick-up for Democrats. Jeff Flake's seat in Arizona is not a lock for Republicans.

Should they compete against Ted Cruz in Texas or John Barrasso in Wyoming? Could they possibly win in either of those states?

Chairman Perez has indicated that he wants to compete in all 50 states.

Do you see a possibility of the Democrats taking over the Senate next November??

1. There is zero possibility if the Democrats abandon the 50 state strategy.

Candidates should be financially and organizationally encouraged to run in every state.

2. French Hill is being challenged in Arkansas

and I'm going to work hard for him even though I'm not in his district. If we can flip that seat, we may break the Greedy Ole Pedophiles hold on the state.

3. I believe only 8 Republicans are up for Senate election in 2018

33 total Senators up for election in 2018

--

Of course in the House we need a 50 state policy.

[we can do it]

4. Im a Howard Dean 50 stater.

5. I think Wyoming may be a stretch, but Texas is doable

7. Texas will be a challenge, but it's looking conceivable.

If you can win in Alabama and run a serious challenge in Texas, you shouldn't concede anything. Fifty states hell! Let's admit Puerto Rico into the Union and fight for fifty one!

6. If we don't challenge Teddy Munster Cruz in Texas, we should be slapped in the face.

He's weak and they don't really care for him that much. With a strong candidate (wish it could be a Castro), I believe the state could be won by a Democrat. This border wall thing is a winning issue (for us).

8. Any state that Bannon stands up a GOP challenger, DEMs should make at least

a 10-power effort or more.

9. I hope the Dems go head first into NC

Tillis isn't liked here at all! He can be defeated - I just hope they don't abandon NC again.


A new poll from Elon University shows that the approval ratings President Trump and Republican Senators Thom Tillis and Richard Burr are far underwater among North Carolina voters.

Trump’s approval stands just shy of 37 percent—a slight improvement from last month’s 34.4 percent rating in the same poll, owing entirely to a slight rise in Republican support. More interestingly, though, are the numbers for Burr and Tillis, the latter of whom will be up for reelection in 2020. (Burr says he will retire when his current term ends in 2023.) They both trail Trump in support: Burr’s approval rating is 31 percent; Tillis’s, just 28 percent.

Part of their problem is that significant majorities of Trump voters don’t think they’re sufficiently supportive of the president. Indeed, 27 percent of Trump voters disapprove of Burr, and 21 percent disapprove of Tillis. Overall, 38.5 percent of voters believe the senators should back Trump more than they already do.

Roy Cooper, meanwhile, is holding steady, with 49 percent approval—including a 30 percent approval from Republicans—and 30 percent disapproval. He’s doing far better than Pat McCrory was at this point four years ago.
