In fact, of the 33 senate seats up for election in 2018, Democrats must defend 23 seats, whereas Republicans only need to defend 8 seats.
The remaining two Senators up for re-election are Independents Bernie Sanders and Angus King, who caucus with the Democratic Party.
Democratic incumbents in states that Trump won in 2016, like Senators Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, and Jon Tester of Montana, are at the highest risks of losing their seats.
Despite what the Democratic base wants, if these Trump-state Democrats fail to find opportunities to cooperate with Trump, or at least position themselves as centrists congruent with their constituents’ beliefs, they will lose to a more canny Republican candidate in the general election and increase the likelihood that Trump gains a filibuster-proof Senate.

If the GOP puts up lousy candidates, then it won't make much difference.A lot can happen in two years.

According to everything I've seen and read this past election cycle, the GOP put up a lousy candidate against a "stone-cold" lock, and Donald J. Trump won  POTUS

The only thing more amazing than Trump's victory is that it was performed against a charasmatic, scandal free,once-in-a-lifetime, Secretariat-like candidate that Hillary Clinton was.
The eye roll emoji would be superfluous at this point.

The GOP puts up lousy candidates, but the dems put up despicable candidates.
It's all relative, ya see?

McCain calls him "Trump", instead of his rightfully earned title of POTUS......Sen. McCain is just a jealous jackass for having his chance at POTUS and blowing it in '08.

You've lost any argument in this election......The country's COUNTIES voted by giving Hillary only 487 counties to Trumps 2,626 county wins....Do you get it Stinks?? I doubt it...

He is a loser.
A sore-loser.
And more importantly, a class A jerk.

DEM. Illinois GOV. candidate urges men to protest Trump by using ladies room.
If men crowding ladies rooms doesn't stop Trump nothing will. 
J.B.Pritzker tweets;
"As a protest against Trump rescinding protection for trans kids, everyone should use the other genders bathroom"
They're after your vote.

It's going to take a whole lot more of a national tragedy to get me to wait in line without urinals.
