Can Delaware Dems Repeat 2018 Success in 2020? Part 2

How many seats will Democrats pick up in 2020? Republican incumbents will benefit from John Carney's leadership. Because bi-partisanship is seen as a virtue above all virtues, John Carney will do everything he can to make the remaining Republicans seem like a viable political party and "a trusted partner in governing." Also, as astonishing as it is to you and me in the age of Trump, there is a lot of collegiality and protecting fellow members of the incumbent club in Leg Hall.

Making pickups an uphill fight for Democrats is the fact that there are far fewer targets of opportunity for Democrats in 2020. In New Castle County only Michael Smith, Jeff Spiegelman, Kevin Hensley, and Mike Ramone remain in the house. Ramone has been exposed for the fraud and crumb-bumb that he is. I'd rate him as beatable. After that, it looks like ...
