I see Democrats picking up a couple of states. I think there is a slim chance they can pick up the Senate.

The Democrats are starting to draw blood and cause some pain for the Republicans. They are exerting their will.

I’m sure this is making a lot of Democrats very happy.

I don’t see evidence that voters are engaged in this. Barely half of voters had an opinion. For anything Democrats might gain, there’s also the downside of looking obstructionist and postponing the inevitable.

Until you get a viable opponent, … I consider it a third-tier race.

I see a storm coming, it’s forming. But since it won’t hit land for seven months, it’s hard to know what it’s actually going to look like.

It could end some careers.

Democrats have no incentive to come to the table, really. Not getting anything done is a victory for them, to be able to talk about the do-nothing Senate.
