2018
Hold onto every Democratic held seat including the ones in states Trump won by at least a 5 percent margin (IN,MO,MT,ND,OH,and WV) and pick up AZ,NV,and TX.
Likely Scenario in 2018, Democrats lose IN,MO,and OH and pick up AZ and NV. -1D 47D 53R
2020
Hold onto every Democratic held seat including the most vulnerable seats in MI,NH,and VA and pick up CO,GA,IA,KY(if Democrats nominate the right candidate),ME (if Collins retires or loses in the Republican primary to a LePage protégé.),MT (if Bullock runs),NC,and TX (if one of the Castro twins run and Cornyn retires).
