2018 US Senate Race-Dean Heller-NV is the most vulnerable incumbent US Senator up for re-election

in 2018 and here is why.
Heller is the only Republican US Senator up for re-election in 2018 that represents a Democratic leaning state-voted for Clinton in 2016. Heller is a partisan Republican-he votes more often with the Congressional Republican Leadership than the residents of NV. There is one issue that could hurt Heller-Trumpcare. If Heller votes yes on Trumpcare-both the House and Senate version, he loses re-election regardless of who the Democrats nominate?

We need three out of the remaining seven and need to hold 25 (including the 2 independent). Manchin is one of those 25, and he appears to be best buddies with Trump.

I guess we have Alabama as a possibility as well.
