AL-if Democratic GOTV and turnout is high-Jones-D has a chance.

TN-if likely Democratic nominee-James Mackler-D gets DSCC funding. The last time a TN US Senate Race was very close was in 2006. Harold Ford Jr.-D received 48 percent and Bob Corker-R received 51 percent in that race. The 2018 Republican nominee will be a right-wing conservative unlike Alexander-R and Corker-R. Mackler-D has more crossover appeal than Ford-D.

(5,737 posts)As much as I hate to even think it, this is the likely reality. We will likely lose one more seat too.
