2)Moore as US Senator would be a constant embarrassment to the GOP

2018 TN US Senate Race-former Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen-D (2003-2011) is considering

running for the US Senate. If Bredesen-D decides to run, What are his chances against likely Republican nominee-Marsha Blackburn? A Bredesen run and victory in November 2018 is key in Democrats regaining control of the US Senate.
Democrats guide to regaining control of the US Senate is
Scenario 1-Win AL Special on December 2017, In November 2018-Hold onto every Democratic held US Senate seat in states Trump won, Pick up AZ-Sinema-D and NV-Rosen-D
Scenario 2-In November 2018-Hold onto every Democratic held US Senate seat in states Trump won, Pick up AZ-Sinema-D,NV-Rosen-D, and TN-Bredesen-D.
