Trump thinks hell rule the roost because Republicans control the Senate. But actually, TWENTY of his cronies will be defending their seats in two years, and may not be too eager to have the words Trump sycophant hung around their necks.
In two years, the Senate map will be the REVERSE of what it was this time. 20 Republicans defending, many in vulnerable positions. Only 12 Democrats defending, all in safe territory except for Doug Jones.
Therefore, THESE Republican senators should be subjected to MAXIMUM PRESSURE to defy Trump over the next two years.
Cory Gardner-Colorado (BIG pressure point)
Susan Collins-Maine (Probably wont stick around for the Kavanagh backlash. High pressure point if she stays.)
David Perdue-Georgia (Georgia no longer a Republican stronghold)
Jim Risch-Idaho (vulnerable on tariff issues)
Lindsey Graham-South Carolina (Will probably be in Trumps cabinet by then. Open seat.)
John Cornyn-Texas (Run Beto against him!)
Shelley Moore Capito-West Virginia (How are those coal jobs working out for ya?)
Mike Enzi-Wyoming (hand Liz and Dick Cheney around his neck)
Joni Ernst-Iowa
Pat Roberts-Kansas
Dan Sullivan-Alaska
Steve Daines-Montana
Ben Sasse-Nebraska
Jim Inhofe-Oklahoma
Mike Rounds-South Dakota
Tom Cotton-Arkansas (thatll be a tough nut to crack)
Lamar Alexander-Tennessee
Tom Tillis-North Carolina
Bill Cassidy-Louisiana
Mitch McConnell (Probably wont stick around, itll be an open seat)
