If Republicans lose control of the US Senate in 2018 and the 2020 and 2024 US Presidential Election,

Will the Republicans win back control of the US Senate in 2026?
2018- Democrats hold onto every vulnerable Democratic held seat and pick up AZ,NV,and TN. +3D 52D 48R
2020- Democrats lose AL, but pick up CO,ME- if Troy Jackson-D,AZ special, NC,GA,IA and MT- if Bullock-D.
+4D to +6D 56 to 58D/ 42 to 44R
2022- Democrats lose AZ -1D 55 to 57D/43 to 45R
2024- Democrats lose TN and WV if Manchin or Ojeda-D dont run but hold onto AZ,FL,IN,MO,MT,NV,ND,OH,and WV if Manchin or Ojeda-D. -1D to -2D 53 to 55D/45 to 47R
2026- Democrats lose NC,GA,and IA. -3D 50 to 52D/ 48 to 50R.
Republicans win back control of the US Senate in 2026 if they win NH and/or MT.

15 Tuesdays.

We are running out of time in 2018.

Some people have concerns about big money or special interests or identity politics ruining the Democratic process of our Republic.

My target? Constant Election Cycles. Seat the Senate and House in January 2019 and then worry about those elections.

I was perusing FB this morning and saw a blurb about Joe Biden making a decision to run in January.

That's smart. A lot can happen between now and then. If we don't take the Senate I'm telling you - I want Joe or Tammy to run.

45/140 can't beat either one AND I think the Popular Vote Movement will get the 94 Electoral votes they need to ensure a Biden or Duckworth win.

No Democratic should declare until January 2019 and we shouldn't be looking beyond the end of our noses - I mean November 2018.
