Will Baldwin win another term in 2018 against potential candidates like David Clarke and Scott Walker?

Sean Duffy is the one who should run, but it would involve giving up a House seat he's entrenched in.

I don't really know anything about Clarke but I think Baldwin is probably favored in any anti-Trump midterm (which is what's most likely going to happen).

I'm trying to think of who I should really be worried about in this race and honestly the only thing I can come up with is a clone of Ron Johnson. Scott Walker strikes me as the kind of guy who wouldn't run for Senate. David Clarke would lose in quite a landslide. Sean Duffy is an overrated empty suit who would be exposed as soon as he tried for Senate. Eric Hovde could be the man but his campaign struck me as vaguely off-putting and very Paulite - a theme that seems very out of step with today's Republicanism.

I think Baldwin definitely starts out favored, though if 2018 ended up being bad for Democrats, of course that would change. Walker almost certainly wouldn't be the right candidate to run against her.

Seats like this are hard to pick off for the GOP with an incumbent R midterm. Had Hillary won it's a different story.

I am assuming 2018 will be at least slightly favorable to Democrats as far as climate, even if structure (Senate Map and Gerrymandering) are not. So Baldwin has to be favored at this early stage. But Wisconsin does seem to be moving a bit towards the GOP, so I can't count anything out at this stage.

Likely D. Baldwin only ran a point behind Obama in 2012, she should be able to hold her seat in a neutral or favourable cycle.

Mike Gallagher should run, even though he's new to the house. Other than him, Sean Duffy is a good choice.

Duffy is a good choice. Gallagher can run for Johnson's seat in 2022 when he retires.

Honestly, I don't know anymore. Baldwin is far more resourceful than Feingold though. She has been preparing for her 2018 run since at least 2014, but I have low hopes for this state.

I just noticed something: Both Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson defeated very well-known, popular opponents. Both started out as underdogs but won quite decisively on election day.

That's a smart move. I wish johnson hadn't decided to retire, but t fits in with his character. He's truly a great man; Washington needs more people like him.

The Akin/Mourdock/Smith Factor probably helped her a little bit.
