Remember, it's going to be a midterm election.  If there is a Democratic president with less than 60% approval going into the midterm all heck will break loose.  I could envision R+12 seats in a single cycle on this map.  Even if there is an unpopular Republican president, there are still 2-3 seats that any reasonable R should win.

Thoughts?

You do realize that 2018 is 6 years from now?  That is a long time.  Any predicting at this point is completely useless.

One thing's for sure: Democrats will want to purposefully lose the 2016 presidential election if they want to have any chance at holding the senate in 2018.

They should be alright in 2034, they will pickup that seat in Puerto Rico they lost in 2028.

It depends on what happens really, but the GOP passed up a lot of good opportunities in an era where incumbency matters less. If things normalize by then, a lot of those Dems may just hold on and the cycle could have a permenent Dem class until the next GOP wave hits it. It took 30 some years for the Republicans to gain the upper hand in the class 1 seats after 1958 murdered them.
