2018 and 2020 US Senate Election. Seats Democrats need to win to get back in the majority.

2018
Democrats have to hold onto vulnerable Democratic seats in IN,MO,MT,ND,OH,and WV and pick up AZ,NV,TX or AL.
2020
If Democrats hold onto IN,MO,MT,ND,OH,and WV and pick up AZ and NV in 2018, They need to pick up CO.
If Democrats lose IN and MO, hold onto MT,ND,OH,and WV and pick up AZ and NV in 2018, They need to pick up CO,NC,and GA.

Cory Gardner is not very popular. And he will be even less so if he votes for the GOP health care terrorism bill....

The only candidate who could win was Kyrsten Sinema and she opted out just as she did against McCain last year.

Both McCain and Flake have a not so secret weapon in the primaries called Mitt Romney. There is a heavy Mormon vote in the Republican primary in AZ and Romney comes in to campaign early and often for both McCain and Flake.
