Republicans in the United States Senate are poised to hold their razor-thin majority, and possibly add to it by a few seats, boosted by the partisan spat over newly minted Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Even as the Democratic Party is on the cusp of surfing a tide of suburban discontent with President Trump and taking power in the House of Representatives, a decidedly favorable map of battlegrounds that runs right through the heart of some of the most conservative states in America will protect Republican control of the Senate.
Senators serve six-year terms, and only about one third of the 100-seat chamber is contested every two years. This year, with the addition of special elections in Mississippi and Minnesota, there are 35 Senate seats on the ballot across the country. But only about two dozen of those are actually considered in play, with the remainder a solid bet to stand pat. Even among those considered competitive in some form, only about a dozen are worth watching as the Republicans attempt to pad their 51-49 majority.

Drucker is a squish. Listened to him on Hewitt this week. Living too much in the bubble.
Let’s face it: the Democrats are blaming one Dianne Feinstein for the current mess. Feinstein may end up seeking early retirement after the Kavanaugh debacle.
We know how much suburban America enjoys communing with mobs who threaten to burn their neighborhoods down. We just hate the rich who own their own property - ooops, that's us.
Explain to me how this works again.
The vote distribution in the house districts in play appear to be a push or marginally in the republicans favor. District by district analysis is necessary.

She needs to have her committee assignments taken away in the next Congress. If that happens, she will retire.
If the Rats don’t win back the House, I predict a greater Leftist meltdown than we experienced in 2016.
They are all in on Nancy Pelosi getting the Gavel back.
On the other hand, we know that if they do get back the House, POTUS Trump will not be intimidated like his GOP predecessors.
They threaten to shut down the Government, POTUS Trump says whatever you want and sets up a Rally Schedule.
The send him a POS Spending Bill, he pulls out the solid Gold Trump Veto Pen.
In the meantime, he gets Mitch working OT filling Judicial Vacancies until there are no more Vacancies.
Then Buzzy Ginsburg falls over and the sale of Razor Blades spikes.
