John James will win in MI.
Other than that…who knows??
It is highly likely it does stay Red. But it is not out of the realm of potential either. Look at the Governors race in 2018. Granted, it had Kobach, which was not an advantage for the GOP. But Gov. Kelly did beat him by a full 5% in the election. Kansas is weird. A lot of deep red, of course. But a lot of suburban voters, with college educations in some of the really affluent parts of the state.
James will have a strong showing, but I think he will fall short. The last time the GOP won a senate seat in Michigan was the GOP wave year of 1994.
Kansas is not at all “weird”. Kansas is true to the migration of the Nations in the 1850s.
I just want to see that Senate Majority Leader title go to a Dem.

You are making another Senate prediction after the last one?

Sam Brownback did lasting damage to the GOP in Kansas. He went off the deep end and a lot of moderate voters either shifted to the Democrats or to No Partisan Affiliation. While Republicans remain dominant for the time being, they are still somewhat vulnerable, due to Brownback’s reign of error.

Exactly. And then he couldn’t even serve out the remainder of his term, before bailing on the state, leaving them high and dry to become an Ambassador for Trump’s administration. Kansans don’t forget.
Yes I am.
John James will win.
I will never forgive Lou.
What did he do? I thought he just ran the state as a TEA Party Republican.
He eliminated taxes on small businesses with the idea being that the extra money would be reinvested in said small businesses, and more businesses would be climbing over each other to open shop in Kansas. That would mean expanding and hiring more employees, thus expanding the tax base and the whole thing would pay for itself. Sound familiar?
So of course none happened. There was no big book in hiring or expansions. All it did was cause huge deficits and massive cuts in education. Then Brownback fought tooth and nail against trying to fix the problem.
So he was a TEA party Republican.

I feel like Lindsey Graham is gonna lose. It’s not a prediction. I just feel that way. It’s too close to call objectively.
Peters will cruise.

Senator Tillis has declared victory.
Sticking with my pick.
Pretty sure I got this one.
Slipping away for Trump though. We will find out how gracious he is in defeat.
I like peters chances when it is all said and done.

Good one
Trump doesn’t need to fight over it.
He gave it his best effort and made a lasting impression on the political landscape.
He can be gracious and exit with his objectives met and head held high and watch Sleepy Joe wreck the economy he rescued. He won’t be quiet after he leaves and the media will find they miss him after all.
I am proud of the Orange maniac. He did our country a great service. He could still win, but with MI folding I am thinking his chances are dissolving for this run. Legal challenges will be futile.
Trump has surprised often…this could be another.
