I will of course start by saying the idea of Tom "endorsing" anyone is nothing short of hilarious, LOL.  Not only will literally nobody - even my closest friends and family - give a shlt who I "endorse," I literally know hardly anything about 75% of these goons.  With that said:

Alabama: Abstain
Arizona: Jeff Flake (R)
California: Ashley Swearingin (R)
Connecticut: Abstain
Delaware: Chuck Boyce (R)
Florida: Abstain
Hawaii: Abstain
Indiana: Whomever the Republican is...  Indiana should have two GOP Senators
Maine: Eric Brakey (R) ... need New England Republicans!
Maryland: Abstain
Massachusetts: Shiva Ayyadurai (R)
Michigan: Justin Amash (R)
Minnesota: Erik Paulsen (R)

Mississippi: Abstain
Missouri: The Republican, most likely, or possibly abstain
Montana: Tim Fox (R)
Nebraska: Deb Fischer (R)
Nevada: Dean Heller (R)
New Jersey: The Republican ... Menendez sucks
New Mexico: Susana Martinez (R)
New York: Chris Gibson (R)
North Dakota: Not sure
Ohio: John Kasich (R)
Pennsylvania: Jim Christiana (R)
Rhode Island: Robert Flanders (R)
Tennessee: Bob Corker (R)
Texas: George P. Bush (R)
Utah: Orrin Hatch (R)
Vermont: Scott Milne (R)
Virginia: Abstain
Washington: Abstain
West Virginia: Evan Jenkins (R)
Wisconsin: Scott Fitzgerald (R)
Wyoming: John Barrasso (R)

Bold ones are enthusiastic (I guess).

He's a declared candidate, who seems to be the most moderate of the three declared ones.

For good or for bad, none of them really have a chance. It'll be Messer most likely. If not, probably Rokita or Ballard (who was a great mayor).

All the Republicans, probably. Maybe 2 or 3 exceptions.

Oh, screw this. All the Republicans, especially in competitive races and especially those who are running against red state Democrats. Maybe third-party candidates where there's no competitive race and I dislike the GOP candidate.

Class 1 has produced by far the worst Democrats in the Senate: McCaskill, Heitkamp, Tester, Feinstein, Menendez, Brown, etc.

Might be mistaken, but I thought you kind of supported Republicans in Congress as a check on Obama's Presidency ... why the support of unified GOP governor now?

Because while this administration is pretty bad, a Democratic Congress would be a disaster - there would be investigations every day and maybe even an impeachment trial. Plus, a Democrat would be guaranteed to win in 2020 and the Democratic trifecta would pass whatever they want. And like I said, these Class 1 Democrats are beyond awful.

You're okay with a Republican trifecta but not a Democratic trifecta?

There is no way there would be investigations beyond those already going on, and those might be over by then if there's no new evidence. Also, there's no way in hell there would be impeachment unless the Republicans wanted it, since a conviction takes a 2/3 majority in the Senate.

I'd support Joe Manchin (D) in West Virginia but in all the other races I'd support whoever wins the Republican nomination.

Following the skinny repeal vote, I have endorsed the presumptive democratic opponent to Sen. Dean Heller.

In Maine, I'd vote for King. In California I'd support the non-Feinstein option or abstain if a Republican makes it to the runoff. I'd vote for a left wing third party in NY, NJ, Maryland, and Delaware. Everywhere else I'd vote Democrat.

October Update:

Texas - Joaquin Castro (D) isn't running, so switched my endorsement to Beto O'Rourke (D)
Utah - Ben McAdams (D) isn't running for this office, so switched my endorsement to Evan McMullin (I/R)
Tennessee - With Bob Corker (R) retiring, my endorsement goes to Phil Bredesen (D)
New York - I was undecided here previously, I have now decided to endorse David Webber (R)

So far, my senate endorsements include 12 Republicans, 2 Independents (King and McMullin), and 20 Democrats, with my Arizona endorsement currently up in the air.

We're working on LP candidates here with two guys working on their signatures to get on the primary ballot from SE Michigan. I am not sure if Amash is going to run but it is unlikely that Kid Rock will run here in the very least.

Thank you!

I don't like Moore at all, and I think Petersen would be a good outsider voice in the Senate.


We're working on LP candidates here with two guys working on their signatures to get on the primary ballot from SE Michigan. I am not sure if Amash is going to run but it is unlikely that Kid Rock will run here in the very least.


I've been leaning towards either Upton or Amash in MI.  I hope one of them jumps in.  If not, I'd most likely side with the Republican, but I might choose the Libertarian depending on the candidate.

I'd support Justin Amash. He's my favorite Republican Congressman and I think would make an excellent Senator. The GOP needs more libertarians in the Senate.
