(8,617 posts)Republican US Senators up for re-election in 2018 is
AL-Strange-R is safe.
AZ-Flake-R is vulnerable in the primary and general. If Flake loses in the primary, Democrats win in the general election. +1D
MS-Wicker-R is safe.
NE-Fischer-R is safe.
NV-Heller-R is vulnerable. +2D
TN-Corker-R or Halsam-R is strongly favored to win.
TX-Cruz-R is favored to win re-election.
UT-Republicans are likely to win.
WY-Barrasso-R is safe.
It would take Collins-ME to switch parties and caucus with the Democrats in order for Democrats to regain control of the US Senate. Angus King needs to convince his homestate collegue to switch parties.

(19,486 posts)Or are you suggesting he run against Gardner?
I despise Gardner and hope we can defeat him, but I don't want Dino Hickenlooper in his place.

Our problems are not normal and require we expand, not shrink, the tent.

(19,486 posts)We have a lot of good Democrats in Colorado. I'm fairly hopeful that someone much more palatable than Hickenlooper, and very electable, will be the candidate to run against Gardner.
