Senate 2018

On Tuesday, December 12, Democrat Doug Jones defeated Republican Roy Moore for the open Senate seat in Alabama.  Given that Trump won Alabama with 62% of the vote, this is considered a political upset. 

Several facts to consider:

The Left ramped up its entire nationwide political machine to get people out to vote.  It's likely that many ineligible votes were cast. Still, Jones did not receive as many votes as did Hillary only a year prior.

Moore was hit with numerous baseless allegations. Instead of fighting back hard like Trump, he disappeared.  To be fair, he didn't resign like some #cuckservatives would have, but he threw in the towel - exactly like McCain and Romney did against Obama. 

The Republican establishment sided with the Democrats and the #FakeNews media.  Hard. They basically sabotaged Moore's whole campaign.  This would not have been a problem had Moore fought back hard like Trump does. 

What will be interesting are the races in 2018. There are enough Senate races up for grabs that the Left machine will have its already sparse resources spread even thinner. A little research will show you that the following Democrat seats in states where Trump won will be up for grabs:

Bill Nelson, FL
Joe Donnelly, IN
Debbie Stabbenow, MI
Claire McCaskill, MO
Jon Tester, MT
Heidi Heitkamp, ND
Sherrod Brown, OH
Bob Casey, PA
Tammy Baldwin, WI
Joe Manchin, WV

Additionally, Jeff Flake (AZ) and Bob Corker  (TN)  who have proven to be rogue agents, will not be running for re-election. Both are in states that typically vote Republican.

Note: there are several other Senate seats up for grabs, but at this time, they look somewhat safe for the incumbent.  The ones mentioned above could be the swing seats.  With a little luck, and some good hard Right candidates, a 60 Republican Senate is not out of reach. 

Realistically, it will be 55 at best, because Republican establishment types prefer to run #cuckservatives and people don't vote #cuckservatives into office much any more.
