It looks pretty impossible otherwise, but if everyone who "disapproves" of Trump goes to the polls and votes against Republicans all the way down the ballot... could happen.

our chances improve when we put our efforts and cash in supporting Democrats for office. Who would vote for anyone if their campaign message was "I can not win"?

If we nominate a great presidential candidate who can explain rational policies to the American people and

if our nominees for the senate can do likewise. does that translate into a senate majority? I hope so but I am not confident.

this election can also be a disaster that adds sen seats and flips the house returning full control to president trump, who might go so far as seek to remove his term limits.

Collins is toast in Maine - 48 D

McSally is toast in AZ; Warner is a very strong candidate and AZ is quickly becoming a blue state - 49 D

Gardner is toast in CO, he is a relic of the past in what is now a blue state 50 D

We should be able to unseat either Tillis in NC, or Ernst in IA. 51 D

Doug Jones probably won't pill it out unless the Rs run the perverted cowboy again. 50 D

VP breaks the tie, we control the senate.
