The 2018 election is going to be a turnout election. IF voter turnout is 20% the Democrats are going to lose everywhere. If the turnout is 50% that means that more new voters, younger people, and people in the middle go to the polls. If they can hit that 50% there will be a wave. The rest of the year watch the get out the vote drives kick in hard.

IF, and I say IF Beto gets within the error bar, shit is going to get very serious everywhere. I just hope that the DNC can take a moment and remember that there are down-ticket races and overcome the damage that was done during Obama.

I'm hopeful, but very cautious.
