We still need to win in Mississippi to get 53. The media is already trying to paint Hyde-Smith as a member of the KKK.
However, with 53, the GOP is pretty solid.
Romney, Collins and MooCowSki were always the three who would give us the most trouble.
They are now powerless. We are still at 50 without them, and Pence can break the tie.
We had HUGE upgrades with Blackburn replacing Corker and with the pickups in Missouri, North Dakota and Indiana.
The only other other “mavericky” Senator is Sasse, and he should be solid on Judges.
Presumably, Ben Sasse is up for reelection in 2020. He can't afford to be too "mavericky."
