nkpolitics1212's Journal2018 US Senate Election- Which US Senate Race will be the MACACA of 2018?
During the 2006 US Senate Election- Democrats had gained 6 seats-PA,OH,RI,MO,MT,and VA. This put Democrats in the majority.
VA-George Allen calling a protester MACACA lead Democrats to win the 2006 VA US Senate Race and regain control of the US Senate.
In 2018- Democrats will hold onto every Democratic held seat up in 2018 and pick up AZ and NV to get to 51 seats.
Democrats could pick up additional seats in TN and TX and if they are special elections in AZ and MS, AZ and MS.
I could see TX or MS - whichever MS seat Presley-D runs for, as the 2018 MACACA US Senate Election.

If Republican US Senators in AK,CO,LA,MT,and NC were to resign ASAP, Democrats could gain 8 seats
due to these States having Democratic Governors.
AK- Walker is an Independent either appoints an Independent who will caucus with the Democrats or an actual Democrat Begich and Berkowitz. 51D

Democrats pick up AZ,MS-if Wicker loses in the Republican primary,NE,TN,TX,UT-if McMullin runs and takes half of the votes away from Hatch ,and WY if Barrasso loses in the Republican primary. 66D
