1. I don't see Cruz losing.

Those Yahoos down there love that asshole even if no one else does.

2. O'Rourke's running strong.

Very busy campaign! Raised more than Cruz lat Q I believe. He looks quite promising.

3. Well, let's hope for that to happen.

I detest Cruz more than any politician in the country.

4. Cruz-TX is the Republican we need to defeat in order to regain control of the US Senate in 2018.

We are going to re-elect all our vulnerable incumbents-Nelson-FL,Donnelly-IN,McCaskill-MO,Tester-MT,Heitkamp-ND,Brown-OH,Manchin-WV,and Baldwin-WI by a narrow and high single digit margin and we are going to unseat Republican incumbents in AZ-Flake and NV-Heller.
If we don't defeat Cruz-TX, we have to wait until 2020 to regain control of the US Senate. In 2020, we have few vulnerable incumbents-Shaheen-NH,and Warner-VA. Both or these Senators are going to get re-elected by a high single digit margin. In 2020, there are more vulnerable Republican incumbents up for re-election.
CO-Gardner-R vs Hickenlooper or Perlmutter-D will be a Democratic pickup. Besides Hickenlooper and Perlmutter, Democrats have 2018 Democratic Gubenatorial candidates-Kennedy or Johnston-whoever finishes in 2nd place after frontrunner Polis.
GA-Perdue-R vs 2018 Democratic Gubenatorial candidates-the two Staceys -Abrams or Evans-D will be a Tossup.
IA-Ernest-R vs 2018 Democratic Gubenatorial candidates-Boulton or Pritchard-D will be a Tossup.
ME-Democratic pickup if Collins-R retires or becomes Governor. Democrats nominate Pingree or Michaud-D
MT-Daines-R-Tossup if Bullock-D runs.
NC-Tillis-R vs Cunningham,Ross,Stein,or Wood-D will be a Democratic pickup.
