AL: Shelby

AR: Boozman
CA: Harris
CO: Bennet
CT: Murphy
DE: Coons
FL: Nelson
GA: Isakson
HI: Schatz
ID: Crāpo
IL: Durbin
IN: Young*
IA: Grassley

TN: Corker
TX: Cornyn
UT: Hatch
VT: Sanders
VA: Kaine
WA: Murray
WV: Manchin

* = I could probably justify Heitkamp, Baldwin, Nelson, Manchin, and Tester winning their sole senate election. As much as I like Donnelly and McCaskill, theres no way they win their race against Young and Blunt.
** = But Paul wins against Mitch

AL: Shelby
AK: Murkowski
AZ: McCain (but if Flake loses in '18, then Sinema)
AR: Boozman
CA: Harris
CO: Bennet
CT: Blumenthal
DE: Coons
FL: Nelson
GA: Isakson
HI: Hirono
ID: Risch (not someone who claims to be Mormon then gets a DUI)
IL: Duckworth
IN: Donnelly (but if he loses in '18, then Young)
IA: Grassley
KS: Moran (marginally more conservative, I think, but Roberts embodies "the swamp")
KY: Paul
LA: Kennedy
ME: King
MD: Van Hollen
MA: Warren
MI: Stabenow
MN: Franken
MS: Wicker (Cochran's race-baiting primary campaign in 2014 really bothered me)
MO: McCaskill (but if she loses in '18, then Blunt)
MT: Tester
NE: Sasse
NV: Cortez-Masto
NH: Shaheen (extremely tough call, have campaigned for & deeply respect both)
NJ: Booker (but preferably neither. And if Menendez gets convicted then most likely whoever replaces him, esp if it's someone like Pauline or Holt)
NM: Heinrich
NY: Gilibrand
NC: Burr
ND: Heitkamp
OH: Brown
OK: Lankford
OR: Merkley (another tough call, both are fantastic, but I guess Merkley has more of a "future")
PA: Casey
RI: Whitehouse
SC: Graham
SD: Thune
TN: Corker
TX: Cornyn
UT: Hatch
VT: Sanders
VA: Kaine
WA: Murray
WV: Manchin
WI: Baldwin
WY: Enzi

This was a fun exercise for sure. But it's sad in that it made me realize there are only a handful of states where I really like both Senators (NH, OR, RI, NM, OH and MA sort of)

If I could decide who survives.

AL: Strange because he's beatable
AK: The Murk
AZ: McCain
AR: Boozman. Better than cotton, at least
CA: Harris
CO: Bennett
CT: Murphy
DE: Coons
FL: Nelson
GA: Isakson
HI: Hirono
ID: No clue... Risch probably?
IL: Duckworth
IN: Donnelly
IA: Grassely solely due to his Twitter
KS: Roberts
KY: Paul
LA: Cassidy
ME: King, because I'm a partisan hack. Sorry, Collins.
MD: Cardin
MA: Warren
MI: Peters
MN: Franken
MS: Cochran. Respectable.
MO: McCaskill
MT: Tester
NE: Sasse for his token anti trumpism
NV: Cortez
NH: Shaheen - the original angry woman
NJ: Booker
NM: Heinrich
NY: Schumer. Good min leader
NC: Uhh.... Burr? Maybe tillis since he's vulnerable in 2020?
ND: Beautiful Flawless Heidi edges out Beautiful Flawless Hoeven
OH: Brown
OK: Lankford because Inhofne is an absolute idiot shill
OR: Both are good, so I choose Merkley.
PA: Casey
RI: Reed
SC: Graham for token trump opposition
SD: *gags* Rounds
TN: Corker seems sane.
TX: *gags* ... Cornyn?
UT: Hatch. Retires soon enough
VT: Sanders. I like Leahy but I would be doing a disservice by casting Bernie aside.
VA: Warner
WA: Murray
WV: Manchin
WI: Baldwin
WY: Who care?

30 D - 20 R. Filibuster proof!


Keep telling yourself that.

I'd keep Ted Cruz in Texas. That... thing... is the most funny Senator to ever hold office. His existence makes US politics worth it.
