If we don't win in AL which is the likely outcome, we have to work hard to hold onto IN,MO,MT,ND,OH,and WV and pick up AZ and NV. We have to hope for 2 AZ US Senate Races to take place in 2018(The Flake seat and The McCain seat) to regain control of the US Senate in 2018 or McMullin-UT running as an Independent and Jim Bennett running for the US Senate as the United Utah party nominee-splitting the Republican vote allowing the Democratic nominee to narrowly win or Cruz-TX making a Macaca gaffe.
