NC Governor Roy Cooper should be on the 2020 Democratic Presidential Ticket-Here is why

1)Cooper can turn NC and FL into blue states and put GA in play.
2)Cooper is pro choice, pro gun rights-but supports gun restriction, pro gay marraige, pro environment, supports higher taxes on the wealthy-go to ontheissues.org
3)NC Democrats can select NC Attorney General Josh Stein to be the 2020 Democratic nominee for Governor. Jeff Jackson for Attorney General, Grier Martin for Lt Governor, and Anthony Foxx for US Senate.

Omarosa from the Apprentice is member of the Trump Administration-director of Public liason.

Any chance she will resign from her post after Trump's controversial statements on the Charlottesville Incident? I am surprised that Trump has not got Omarosa to go out in public to defend Trump's character or is Trump only using Omarosa for pu $$y grabbing?

Republican held US Senate seats Democrats need to target in order to regain control of the

US Senate in 2018 and 2020.
2018-Democrats have to protect all of their vulnerable incumbents-Nelson-FL-if Scott-R runs,Donnelly-IN,McCaskill-MO,Tester-MT,Heitkamp-ND-if Cramer-R runs,Brown-OH,and Manchin-WV and pick up
NV(Heller-R) Rosen-D
AZ (Flake-R) Sinema-D or Stanton-D
TX (Cruz-R) O'Rourke-D is a long shot.
The maximum number of seats Democrats will have in the US Senate after the 2018 election is 50.
2020-All of the Democratic held US Senate seats up for grabs in 2020 are in states Democrats are likely to win at the Presidential
level-Peters-MI,Franken-MN,Shaheen-NH,and Warner-VA are going to win.
Democrats will need to target from highest priority to lowest priority is
1)CO (Gardner-R) Udall rematch, Hickenlooper, Perlmutter,Markey or Hancock are the likely Democratic nominee.
2)NC (Tillis-R) Hagan rematch, Kissell,McIntyre,Miller, or Foxx are the likely Democratic nominee.
3)AZ special (McCain-R succumbs from brain cancer-R) Sinema-D or Stanton-D are the likely Democratic nominee.
4)GA (Perdue-R) Nunn rematch, Carter, Barrow, or Reed are the likely Democratic nominee.
5)ME (Collins-R is vulnerable in the Republican primary) Pingree-D or Michaud-D are the likely Democratic nominee.
6)IA (Ernst-R) if and only if Vilsack-D runs.
7)MT (Daines-R) if and only if Bullock-D runs.
8)AK (Sullivan-R) if and only if Begich-D seeks a rematch
9)TX (if and only if Cornyn-R retires)one of the Castro twins is the likely Democratic nominee.

2020 Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee-Sherrod Brown-OH would be the perfect choice whether or

not he wins re-election in 2018.
3 likely scenarios to happen to Brown in 2018.
Scenario 1- Brown loses re-election by a narrow margin.
Putting Brown on the ticket will at best put OH in play but turn MI,PA,and WI into Democratic States.
Scenario 2- Brown wins re-election, Republicans win the OH Governorship.
This would be a tough call because Brown will be succeeded a Republican if he were to become Vice President.
Scenario 3- Brown wins re-election, Democrats win the OH Governorship.
There will be no problem putting putting Brown on the ticket.

2020 US Senate Election-If former Democratic US Senators Begich-AK,Udall-CO,and Hagan-NC were to

seek a rematch against Sullivan (R-AK),Gardner (R-CO),and Tillis (R-NC), in 2020, Could these former Democratic US Senators win?
I would say yes on Udall-CO and Hagan-NC but maybe on Begich-AK.
Udall-CO and Hagan-NC will benefit from the 2020 Democratic Presidential nominee's coattails. Democrats have a greater than 50 percent chance of winning CO and NC at the Presidential level. Begich-AK will need a national Democratic wave to win.

Democrats could win in IA-if Vilsack-D is the nominee and MT-if Bullock-D is the nominee.
Democrats will need Stanton-D to run in the AZ Special and Ossoff-D to run in GA.
Democrats will need a Coons/Donnelly type candidate to run in ME-assuming Collins-R looses in the Republican primary to the alt-right.
Democrats could end up with 53 to 58 US Senate Seats after 2020 depending on what happens in AZ,IN,MO,OH,and WV in 2018.
