(25,183 posts)And nobody knows what effect Trump will have when he rallies his base, which is still clinging on to him. Other than Colorado, I completely disagree with your estimated pickups, and I see us potentially having tough fights in Minnesota, Michigan, and maybe Virginia.
It would not surprise me if the GOP strengthens itself next year, making Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski irrelevant to their schemes. Just hope like hell that Ruth Bader Ginsberg does not get another health crisis. It seems to happen about every ten years with her, and if that's the case, she's due for one soon.
