In 2006 you would rather have Kyl lose than Allen lose

and in 2008 wouldnt you want McConnell to lose so he wouldnt be the GOP Leader during the Obama years,   and in exchange, you could have Gordon Smith a Moderate Republican be reelected (while Merkley a populist Democrat lose).

I guess I'd take the KY/OR flip, but I was mostly focusing on getting rid of marginal seats for Dems (AR, WV, etc) while getting our sunbelt gains sooner. I wouldn't want to give Dems a seat that would immediately flip back unless I do the same to the GOP (like KY/OR, I guess.)

Well the Sunbelt gains wouldn’t have survived 2010 or 2014  , And Smith probably is still a senator if he wins in 08 and Lunsford could also get re-elected  if the GOP was dumb enough to nominate Bevin

FL: Scott -> Nelson (Senator Medicare Fraud is terrible)
MT: Tester -> Rosendale (I want Montana to have an all-Republican delegation)
UT: Romney -> Wilson (Romney is a warmongering GOPe hack)
MI: Stabenow -> James (I just really like James)

2006: RI and TN. Harold Ford was good and so was Chafee.
2008: OR and KY, definitely. I like Merkley, he's among the best Senators, but McConnell.
2010: PA and FL for WV and CO. Hate Toomey and Rubio, like all the Ds, but the one I like the least is Manchin and Michael Bennet's just ok.
2012: AZ and TX for IN and WV. Same reasoning, really.
2014: Gillespie for Collins (Gillespie'd be toast in 2020.)
2016: Feingold for Shaheen and Kander for Bennet.
2018: Beto for Menendez and Nelson for Manchin (though Manchin's grown on me lately.)

2012: VA, NY, NE, NV
2014: DE, MA, LA, NC
2016: IL, NH, IN, MO (I would have definitely had CA in here, the problem is it would have changed the balance as the runoff was between 2 Ds)

Now, if it was just a GOP seat for a Dem seat (2 seats flip), this is what my list would look like (it's already a lot easier):

2000: MI, MT
2002: IL, GA
2004: IL, LA
2006: PA, NV
2008: OR, MS (C1)
2010: NY (C1), LA
2012: VA, NE
2014: DE, LA
2016: NH, MO
2018: NY, FL

2014 :
Maine for Virginia (I prefer Gillespie who is against abortion rather than Collins who is pro abortion, besides Gillespie would have probably voted to repeal Obamacare)

2016 :
Arizona for Nevada (McCain was a Rino who voted to save Obamacare and I would have traded him for a more conservative republican)
Alaska for New Hampshire (Murkoswki like Collins is pro abortion and voted against the Obamacare repeal, Ayotte would have likely voted for it)

2018 :
Utah for Ohio (I like Romney but I fear he will become a Rino and I would have prefered a Trump loyalist who would always stand with the president rather than someone who will write columns in the liberal Washpost.)

The republican caucus would be more homogenous and more conservative
