Which states should Democrats not compete for the Senate in 2018? [View all]

https://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/

============

In my opinion, they should search for a Doug Jones-type candidate in Mississippi because Bannon has threatened to primary Wicker? Even if Wicker wins, he would be weakened by a primary race.

Also, Deb Fischer in Nebraska may not be as strong as some folks might think? Nebraska has a history of electing Democratic Senators, as least going back to Bob Kerrey. Democrats should compete.

There is a very good chance of winning Tennessee with Bredenson. He is well-known and well-liked in the state.

Nevada is considered a very possible pick-up for Democrats. Jeff Flake's seat in Arizona is not a lock for Republicans.

Should they compete against Ted Cruz in Texas or John Barrasso in Wyoming? Could they possibly win in either of those states?

Chairman Perez has indicated that he wants to compete in all 50 states.

Do you see a possibility of the Democrats taking over the Senate next November??
