I want to be optimistic, but the math is really stacked against the Dems. They have to defend 25 seats while the Pubs only have to defend 9. That means that they have to win more than three quarters of the senate races to just pick up one seat. Winning two thirds would mean a loss of 3 seats. The Dems would have to win 28 out of the 34 seats to overcome the VP's tiebreaker.
I am optimistic enough to believe that the backlash against Trump is enough to overcome the gerrymandering and retake the House.
