What are the chances of the Democrats taking control of the Senate?

What has to happen for this to occur?

1. I think they just got better.

The Dems' ads will write themselves this time.

2. The main requirement will be a massive turnout of Democratic voters.

That is the only thing that can do it. That is what we all need to be working on from now until November, frankly.

3. Get out the vote. Get out the vote. Get out the vote

Call your local democratic headquarters to find out what you can do. Get people registered go door to door or work phone banks. We don’t win sitting on our asses complaining about a candidates worthiness or not. When the mathematical primary winner is known start working for the primary winner and local candidates. Until the primary support your favorite choice. After that it’s vote blue no matter who.

4. First, we have to win the White House

It's virtually impossible to pick up enough senate seats while at the same time losing the presidential election.

Second, we practically need a recession to get enough people to vote the bastards out.

The politically aware are and will be motivated, the the rest of America needs to feel it in the wallet before they turn out in November.

5. The odds have definitely improved

I think Collins, McSally and Gardner are goners, but with Jones fighting a tough battle, there are still two more seats required for a majority.

If youth turnout meets or exceeds 2018 turnout, I’d say our chances are very good.

The best part would be if McGrath beats McConnell to cinch the majority.

6. depends on who our nominee is. we may actually lose more seats and the house nt

[MoonlitKnight]

7. We have a good chance

But only if people vote.

If we get Obama like turnout we have a chance to win.
Hillary turnout and we lose.
2018 was great, but it’s a Presidential year and we need the percentage change it had from previous off years to translate into Presidential year rate.
The Republicans will turn out. It will be higher numbers than ever. We need to get even more out.

Hopefully Florida can get those extra million voters to actually vote. Although the Republicans are trying their best to subvert the constitutional amendment that allowed former felons to restore voting rights. We don’t have a Senate race, but trump is toast if he loses Florida.
