If Angel, Mourdock, Akin, O'Donnell, Buck, and McMahon got elected to the Senate

If Sharron Angle, Richard Mourdock, Todd Akin, Christine O'Donnell, Ken Buck, and Linda McMahon all managed to get elected to the Senate, how would things have played out and what would today look like?

They all would've had extremely tough reelection races!! And the Senate would've became a complete joke. But hey, gotta give Buck credit, he did later make it into the House. And McMahon got a job in the Trump cabinet.

If Sharron Angle, Richard Mourdock, Todd Akin, Christine O'Donnell, Ken Buck, and Linda McMahon all managed to get elected to the Senate, how would things have played out and what would today look like?

- Sharron Angle would have lost in 2016 by a substantial margin.
- Mourdock would probably have mediocre approval ratings and would be vulnerable in 2018.
- Akin would probably be vulnerable to a primary challenge in 2018 and would be DOA in a general election, especially against someone like Kander.
- O'Donnell and McMahon would have been DOA in 2016 simply by being Republicans in strong Democratic states. O'Donnell probably would have been wiped out, though I could see McMahon putting up a decent fight.
- Ken Buck probably loses in 2016 by a similar margin as Glenn lost.

Those are for the specific candidates mentioned. With more Republicans to defend in 2016, it would mean that resources would have to be spread thinner, which may have caused a closer margin in Pennsylvania and other states where the Republican narrowly won.

O'Donnell would have been up in 2014, not 2016. She was elected in a special election

I think she would have lost, but then again, how would she get elected in the first place!? The only reason that seat was seen as competitive was because of Castle.

Then the Republicans wouldn't have won  Senate majority in 2010.
