Here is a wiki link that gives the rundown for the Senate seats: LINK
There will be 9 Republicans and 25 liberals (23 Dems + 2 Ind) Senators.
I believe liberals have 10 seats up in states that Trump won, and Republicans have 1 seat up in states Hillary won.

Nelson of Florida is vulnerable.
Florida GOP is asking voters to call his office in support of Gorsuch's nomination. If he votes party line and the Florida GOP runs a strong candidate he could well lose his seat.

Tester, Heitkamp, McCaskill, and Manchin (if he doesn't flip side before the election) are all most likely going to lose out. And I just can't see an Democratic Senator keeping the Indiana seat, so I'd assume that Donnelly is in trouble as well. Throw in Wisconsin's seat, a state which just elected a Republican Governor, Senator, & President in the last election. Then they'd need at least three more (two if Nelson loses) to gain the filibuster proof 60 seats.

I wouldn't bet against Tester- he won re-election in 2012 with relative ease despite any drag Obama may have had at the top of the ticket.
Similarly, Manchin is well liked in WV.

I wouldn't count on any "Trump" state kicking a Dem out in 2018. Trump is not that popular and I think he may be even less popular in November, 2018 than now.
Better watch out for the House in 2018. Dems have already raised more money for the House campaign in 2018 than they spent in 2016 and 2014 combined. Repubs will keep the Senate easily in 2018, but the House MIGHT be another question altogether.

I just don't see Tester winning again in Montana. The Republicans will be focusing on Montana, and they would have to run a pretty bad candidate not to give Tester a real run for his money.

Manchin was ready to flip to Republican this year if the Dems would've won the Senate majority. Hell, I believe the only reason he hasn't flipped yet is because he'd go from the Senior Senator to a Junior Senator once he flips parties. I don't think it'll take much of a threat from the Republicans to cause him to flip before his next election.

I always smh and weep when people ask how many house seats are up.

Tester is very popular in Montana even among many Republicans.

Tester is popular in the state. Montana isn't as red as people think in terms of its Federal legislative delegation. Remember Trump may have won MT in 16 but so did Bullock. Similarly, Romney won the states electoral votes easily in 2012 and in that year the GOP had a strong opposition candidate with as much pull and name recognition as Tester in Dennis Rehberg, Tester won by 4 points.

It's far too early (IMO) to be making any sort of judgement regarding 2018.
As of now, the only thing you can say is the likely outcome is the senate remains GOP and the democrats will gain seats in the house.

Most Democrats only vote in Presidential elections.

I didn't take his post to mean "up for election" I took it to mean "up for a surpise, up for a party switch, up for an upset, etc".
Everyone knows every House seat is up every two years.
