If there was close to an even split of Republicans/Democrats running for election to the Senate in 2018, the Democrats would have been in position to take over there too. However, with 33 seats up for election , and an additional 2 in a special election, total 26 Democratic and 9 Republican, the odds of winning control of the Senate in 2018 is remote.
In 2020 there will be 11 Democratic seats up for election and 20 Republican seats, with 2 more to be determined in the 2018 special election. So a takeover by Democrats will be much more possible.
Hey, it all depends on how Trump does in the next 2 years. If the 2018 elections don't go the way I believe they will, then all bets are off. I understand that Trump's base supporters love his brash demeanor. Most voters do not. Tone it down Donald.
