So Republicans haven't passed one piece of major legislation yet (and they still haven't)

They only have 2 non-safe seats during that mid-term (even if they lose BOTH of these, they still have 50 seats + Mike Pence). The democrats could lose as many as 10 seats, so the odds are far and beyond. They may lose the house, but I think avoiding health care is actually helping (ACA decimated the Democrat majority in the house back in 2010). If there is one thing I have to say, universal health care is the best option - it is cheaper than private health care for the country, and it provides coverage for everyone (even if it could be better). It is probably the only socialist principle I agree with, but it does work.

Can you source your claim, I see 4-7 seats that might switch to democrat possibly and only one that is leaning towards switching to Republicans. Given Republican failures with incompetent president the likely situation is Donald will be lame duck more likely than not. This obviously my assumption it will work more favorable namely if Republicans fail on their budget bill promises, which seems more and more likely. 

I think a lot of people underestimate when the tide turns it turns. However one thing republicans do have is that mid elections demographically favor them, as a lot dems don't seem to care about mid election.

So you think republicans could lose all but 2 of their seats in this senate class? I mean democrats have always dreamed about winning Texas, but even being competitive in Texas is a dream during a midterm, let alone Alabama, Tenessee, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, or Missisippi.

2 GOP tossups, 8 democratic. But ignoring the tossup map, you tell me other GOP seats that could possibly flip democratic, because I don't see it.

Only one GOP senate seat is in a state Trump didn't win. Democrats have 10 seats in states Trump won. And unlike in 2012, it is a midterm year; so even though the incumbent party usually suffers, the democrats also have to deal with low turnout (the recent special house elections aren't going to give confidence to democrats who may now not bother voting at all).
