TX Quinnipiac: Cruz +9

[Progressive Pessimist]

Neither Texas nor Tennessee are or were ever realistic wins. Taking back the Senate was never realistic. The only realistic thing that can work in the Democrats' favor is to flip Arizona and Nevada while mitigating any loses at all, or even losing just one seat at most. And even then, those scenarios would still be quite the feat.

Uh, that would be taking back the Senate. Of course, North Dakota seems like a stretch.

It would be a tied Senate which still basically means Republican control. And as I said, that's going to be really tough.

No, the scenario you describe is 51D-49R. Do the math.

I was referring to a scenario without Heitkamp. I forgot to make that clear, sorry. And again, both are going to be extremely difficult, and as I see it, unlikely.
