2018/2020 US Senate Election-Democrats guide to regaining control of the US Senate.

If Democrats were to regain control of the US Senate in 2018.
Jones-AL has to pull off an upset on Tuesday. 49D
McCaskill-MO,Donnelly-IN,Nelson-FL(assuming Scott-R is the Republican nominee),Manchin-WV,Heitkamp-ND,Brown-OH,and Tester-MT has to get re-elected. I expect Baldwin-WI, Casey-PA,Stabenow-MI, the Democratic nominee in MN Special,Kaine-VA, and Menendez-NJ to get re-elected by a high single/low double digit margin.
Sinema-AZ and Rosen-NV have to get elected. 51D
If Jones-AL doesn't succeed on Tuesday, Bredesen-TN is plan B.
If Bredesen-TN,McCaskill-MO,and Donnelly-IN don't succeed in November 2018.
2020 will be the year Democrats regain control of the US Senate.
Democrats hold onto MN(winner of the 2018 Special Election),VA(Warner-D wins by a wider margin than in 2014),NH(Shaheen-D defeats Sununu-R). Durbin-IL,Markey-MA,Peters-MI,Booker-NJ,Udall-NM,Merkley-OR,and Reed-RI will win re-election by a double digit margin.
Democrats will pick up CO(Hickenlooper-D or Perlmutter-D), AZ Special(Kelly-D or Stanton-D),NC(Stein-D or Wood-D)
ME(If Collins-R is not the Republican Nominee and Baldacci-D is the Democratic Nominee) and MT(Bullock-D). 53D.

Now that Al Franken is out of the US Senate and a Democrat is likely to replace him.

Franken should spend the next 3 years rehabilitating himself for a 2020 Presidential run. If we are forced to have a Republican Sexual Predator in the White House, Why cant we have a Democratic Sexual Predator in the White House.
