    The only GOP pickup I can see is maybe Missouri or Indiana, which democrats will cover with one of the arizona races and nevada. 

    I think it's going to be much worse than that.

     

    I agree with you on Missouri and Indiana.

    West Virginia is toast, Manchin is hated by the left and faces a tough competitor. Plus it was Trump's second best result the whole election (over 40% more than Hillary), just behind Republican stronghold Wyoming.

    Florida is a good chance to flip, especially if Governor Scott runs against Bill Nelson.

    Ohio looks good, Trump won it by almost 10 points making it look bad for Dems.

    North Dakota is ruby red, Heitkamp is popular though so she might hang on. However, being bipartisan might cost her with progressive voters.

    Montana is a good location too.

     

    The tougher ones will be the Michigan and Wisconsin races, since Trump won there on a knife-edge. Kid Rock might run a good campaign like Trump and inspire grassroots voters if he plays his cards right. Senator Kid Rock is possible.

     

    I can see Dems winning Neveda but that's it. I doubt they flip Arizona.

    Given his status as a war hero, his prominence, and the outpouring of support from just about every major US politician, do you think we can expect him to lie in state in the Capitol? The last person to do so was Daniel Inouye, Senate President Pro Temp and another war hero, in 2012. Before that, the last non-President was Claude Pepper in 1989.

    If Ted Kennedy didn't then I doubt McCain will, but I wouldn't rule it out.

    I wonder if Trump will do the eulogy.That would be fun !

    I'm pretty sure he will deliver A eulogy but maybe not the main one, expect that to be either Lindsey Graham or his mother/daughter/wife. McCain is extremely prominent as a politician and especially as a former Republican Presidential Nominee. Expect Obama, Trump, Romney, the Bushes (provided Sr is still alive), maybe Clinton and Carter and all the current Congress to show up.

     

    It'll be awkward though, with their previous feuds. Something tells me Trump and McCain will reconcile their differences before McCain bows out though.

    I'm honestly surprised he's still playing politics at this age, considering he has some heart problems and he's really old.

     

    Still thinks he's a great choice for someone who could die at any stage and be huge news.

    Probably ISIS hold back the announcement until the question regarding his successor is clarified

    Didn't think about that but you're probably right, they will want the announcement to be something like 'Al-Baghdadi is dead but his goals live on in (whoever's) leadership'
