2018 US Senate Election- Democrats will have between 51 to 54 seats after 2018.

Every Single Democratic held US Senate Seat up in 2018 remains in the Democratic column- that includes FL(Nelson-D vs Scott-R) What is the likelihood of Scott-R running in FL?, IN(Donnelly-D),MN Special(Smith-D),MO(McCaskill-D),MT(Tester-D),NJ(Menendez-D)ND(Heitkamp-D),OH(Brown-D),PA(Casey-D), WV(Manchin-D), and WI(Baldwin-D) 49D.
Democrats pick up AZ(Sinema-D) and NV(Rosen-D) 51D
Potential Surprise Victories for Democrats- TN(Bredensen-D),TX(O'Rourke-D) and UT(Wilson-D)- assuming McMullin-I runs and splits the Republican vote. 54.

but even if what you hope for comes to pass, it will not be enough to remove Trump after a House impeachment, that will require us to take over that side of Congress, and I don't see that happening.

We're in for at least three more years of stalemate government at best, folks.

the mess and destruction 45 is causing now.

Maybe we won't be stuck with him for three more years. A lot can happen, even in the course of a few weeks.

Let's hope. Let's act and GOTV.
