Do Democrats have good alternatives in Colorado to Hickenlooper?

How about in Montana without Bullock?

Does any Democrat in Maine have the name recognition to challenge Susan Collins, who is still somewhat popular there?

Mark Kelly seems to be a good option in Arizona, but I have not heard much since his announcement.

anybody challenging McConnell or Graham is a long-shot, but it must be done.

I know a lot of Republicans are running in solidly red states, but Donny is not a normal candidate and if it looks like he's losing and we get no last minute Comey letter, at least some of his base may stay home making a few of those red state senators vulnerable. (voters who decided in the last week in 2016 broke overwhelmingly to Trump)
