O'Rourke will land closer than any Democrat has in a Texas Senate election in a very long time, but Cruz probably still wins comfortably. Doug Jones, although a great Democrat, would quite possibly lose his seat by double digits in 2020 as long as he isn't running against a pedophile like Roy Moore.

Those are just a couple that jump out at me.
