How Montana and South Dakota have Democratic Senators is beyond me.

The political landscape has changed drastically in just the last 4 years. Arkansas elected democrats regularly not long ago. It would be virtually impossible to win a statewide election as a Democrat now.

Heidi Heitkamp (D) won her North Dakota senate seat in 2012 by only 2,936 votes.

Yeah, I'd say she is very vulnerable.

Montana had unions with the mining industry, and S. Dakota is a holdover from the old DemocraticFarmers/Laborers Party from the late 19th early 20th century, influenced by socialism in the old countries, Sweden, Norway etc.
