Which Republican incumbent can get Lugar'ed and lose primary challenge from a tea party candidate?
I have strong feeling about Graham which would be a little sad because i am little like him.

Probably Graham. Could see a case for McConnell and Collins, though.

More likely that Graham looks to a Trump-esque candidate IMO. His immigration stance is what pisses people off about him.

Graham is the most likely, followed by Collins.

Collins should be perfectly fine. She's acceptable on immigration to most republicans, which is the most important issue for GOP primary voters.

Graham and Sasse are the only ones with a chance.

The latest polls showed her having something around 30-40% approval among Republicans.

Link? Last Collins poll I saw had her at 65% approval among republicans.

And please don't post a poll from right after ACA repeals. Obviously she would be lower back then. I'm sure she's more popular among republicans after the GOP tax bill.

Graham by far. Sasse could probably hold on, while he is often critical of Trump, he isn't out there in the media doing it quite as much. He is also probably a bit more anonymous than Graham is at this point.

Graham will be vulnerable, his many public anti-Trump statements are pure gold for attack ads. There also exists a video of him lavishly praising Joe Biden, which will certainly hurt him among the base if Biden is leading the 2020 Dem ticket.
