Have been telling folks to pay attention to the Senate. The death of Scalia makes it even more important.

Rubio said he won't run again...so that's one. Cruz will likely hold his seat unless he gets the nomination. That's two...

Not too worried about the house.

But the Presidency without the Senate....and nothing will get done for the people.

there are still way too many moderate republicans. The conservative base of the party should constitute at LEAST 70 percent of the party

The only reason Coats was brought from SC retirement to run in Indiana’s primary? A strong conservative needed to be defeated. True, and good riddance.

I am surprised Rubio has such high numbers.......it seems he is one of the most conservatives in the Senate. Of course that might not say much since more of them are far from being conservative.

Cruz runs in 2018. But will need replaced if God forbid he is our President. His seat I think is picked by Governor Abbott.

Coats was originally on of the most conservative senators: succeeded D. Quayle. He must have changed his mind, or his true colors came out.

Abbott could pick only for a six-month replacement: then a special election for the 18 months left in the term.

Freedom Works seems to be a lot more liberal with their rating. That said, McNuts, Murkowski & Kirk need to go for sure.

One on the list that I like, is Barrasso (R-Wy), but he doesn't get much of a conservative stamp.

Sounds like Rubio will have a lot of free time on his hands in the unemployment line next year.

Thank you for the update. I confuse some states with others.

If we nominate Trump, who himself says he’ll bring new voters, independents, moderates, Democrats to the polls voting for him, then we are risking the Senate!

These voters are not loyal to the GOP. Especially the Democrats Trump says who will vote for him. If Trump increases their turnout, that could hurt the Senate races.

Especially since we have 24 Repubs up but only 10 Dems. It will be very hard to hold onto the majority.

Each state has different rules on U.S. Senate vacancies. Most have appointment to the next federal general election. Remember, your PA had a special election when John Heinz was killed in 1991.

We need as many Republicans as possible to keep control... but we need to run conservatives against the RINOs in every primary. IN the general? Any Republican is better than any democrat.

Democrats are the enemy of good...

IMHO, National security and the Supreme Court vacancy will be the two biggest issues in November (assuming the Republicans don’t cave on the Supreme Court nominee before then.)

“IN the general? Any Republican is better than any democrat.”

The only case this cycle where I don’t agree with this sentiment is in Arizona. McCain should be removed at all cost.

Perfect!

I was about to post...

Let's start with a list of incumbents...

Followed with a list of conservative challengers, as they appear...

THANK YOU!

I wouldn't even bother warning them.
