At this moment, Democrats' chances of retaking the Senate seem primo.
Susan Collins (R - Maine) has lost 17 points in approval polls since last spring.
Cory Gardner (R - Colorado) lags 13 points behind his likely Democratic opponent John Huckenlooper
Johnny Isakson (R - Georgia) announced he was retiring before the end of his current term.
Former astronaut Mark Kelly leads incumbent Martha McSally (R - Arizona) by 46 % to 41 %.
David Perdue (R - Georgia) leads well-known Democrat Stacy Abrams by only 2 %.
If Donald Trump is defeated we'd only need to regain three seats in the Senate. With a Democrat in the White House, and one can assume therefore also at Number One Observatory Circle, any ties in votes in the upper chamber could be broken in favor of us good guys. In such circumstances, three more Senate seats would suffice.
Absent that, and even assuming that the Isakson seat remains Republican, unseating Collins, Gardner, McSally, and Perdue, given their respective approval ratings, seems eminently doable.
