2018- Democrats need to win every Democratic held seat up in 2018 including FL,MO,and ND,and pick up AZ and NV. TN and TX will be Democratic pickups if 2018 is a Democratic wave/tsunami.
2020- Democrats will win every Democratic held seat up in 2020 except AL. Democrats will pick up AZ special,CO,and NC. ME-if Collins-R retires,loses in primary or votes to confirm Kavanaugh. MT if Bullock-D or Schweitzer-D are the Democratic Nominee.

(13,873 posts)The betting houses in London, which are usually correct and are seldom off by much, have the Dems chance of picking up the Senate in 2018 at less than 10%.
The Dems have to hold onto 26 seats, while only 9 Repubs are up for grabs.
Hey, I'll be up all night on Nov 6 and hoping for the best, but it will be like pulling for the Marlins to beat the Red Sox in the World Series.

(13,873 posts)that the British betting houses have a better track record than any of the major polls in the US. It's basically crowd-sourced info, and unlike polls where people will lie (i.e., the famous "shy Trump voters" who didn't want to admit they were going to vote for him), when people are betting money they leave emotion and preference out of their selection.
