In 2014, there was a displaced belief McConnell would lose. He won and won rather substantially, by about 16%. Though Grimes has herself to blame for saying she wouldn't say who she voted for in 2012.

McConnell may be unpopular, but that doesn't change that he will get more votes. Right now, polling has Trump up in KY over Biden by 20 and McConnell ahead by the same number.

The Georgia special election is probably a better chance to take a seat

Alaska will be fun to watch (maybe), polling has Sullivan up by 5 and both he and Gross (D) are polling under 40%: 39 Sullivan, 34 Gross. Unfortunately, undecideds approve of Trump by +26

Cornyn is at 43% and Hegar is at 33%
He's a little better positioned for re-election, I think, than Sullivan is in Alaska
Sullivan is just completing his first term, so I think that makes Cornyn more likely to win than Sullivan
Right now, Biden is up by 2 in Texas. There'd have to be some real changes in people's minds about Cornyn and vote for Hegar
Possible, but I still think Alaska is a better chance.
Sullivan's seat was held by a Democrat before him

He fundraised against her in favor of John Carter (R) in TX-31. Hegar lost 47.7 - 50.6.
