2018
10 Democratic incumbent US Senators up for re-election in 2018 are from States Trump carried in 2016
FL-Nelson-D
IN-Donnelly-D
MI-Stabenow-D
MO-McCaskill-D
MT-Tester-D
ND-Heitkamp-D
OH-Brown-D
PA-Casey-D
WV-Manchin-D
WI-Baldwin-D
Out of those 10, 5 of those States Trump carried by a double digit margin
IN,MO,MT,ND,and WV.
Democrats could hold onto MT but lose IN,MO,ND,and WV and pick up AZ and NV- Republican held seats in states Trump narrowly won or lost in 2018. -2D is a worse case scenario for Democrats in 2018. 47D 53R
2020

Democrats will pick up Republican held seats in AZ(special election to replace McCain-R),CO,GA and NC- States Trump will lose or narrowly win in 2020.
Democrats could pick up ME if Collins-R retires or loses in the primary and MT if Bullock-D runs.
Democrats will have a net gain of 3 to 6 seats in 2020.

Not only to convict him, but to prevent him from appointing anyone to the Supreme Court. We need both the House and the Senate to oust both Ryan and McConnell from their control they now have. The we can do real investigations .
