if Trump is in a really bad position, they have a good shot at all of them
if he is on track to re-election, they don't have a very good shot at Iowa and North Carolina
Oh I thought the Iowa senator up that year was Grassley.
if he is on track to winning re-election by decently greater margins than 2016, we have a good shot at keeping all of them
nah
Ernst
all the Republican Senators elected in 2014 are up
yeah
2014 being a low turnout year
lowest turnout since WWII
It will be tough for Gardner to win
I don't think it'll be impossible. I think Trump's incumbency will make him a lot more palatable to people in states like Colorado.
He should start fundraising and campaigning the literal second these midterms are over though. I think he'll sink if he loses momentum.
Gardner should start preparing for 2020 re-election....now
Iām sure he is
Declared
Derrick Blanton[2]
Dustin Leitzel, pharmacist[3]
Potential
Stan Garnett, Boulder County District Attorney[4]
John Hickenlooper, outgoing Governor of Colorado[5]
Mike Johnston, former state senator[6]
Trish Zornio, biomedical scientist[7]
Mark Udall, former Senator
Crisanta Duran, Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives
Politicians should campaign 24/7. But he can't have any real priority until these midterms are over. Donors are all going to be more concerned about someone like Heller than a guy who's not even up for election this year.
I think Hickenlooper is the likely winner of the D primary
for CO Sen
2 years is plenty of time to build a massive war chest to drown out the inevitably competitive democratic primary.
He's the gov, right?
Governors are hard as fuck to beat in Senate races.
yeah
although
one guy here said Hickenlooper might be too old
Nah, he's only 66.
Yessssss
Did they close the NV poll? I would've preferred for them to get a larger sample.
@Yellowhammer yes
Ah, it's closed.
That's probably the best result I could have expected for that Nevada poll
Yep
+2 is stellar.
