I think Dem strategists are debating adding Cruz to the list of top tier races, even though that's a wildly expensive race, along with Flake, Heller, and Corker.
The other potential open seat, and I say this as someone who has been through Glioblastoma with a close family member, is McCain's. Even if he miraculously survives this thing for the next year, it wouldn't surprise me if he decided to spend his remaining time with his family.

I feel embarrassed for Cruz, frankly. But I don't see Alabama happening here. It seems that the prominent Texas Ds aren't looking to blow their political capital on a loss. I don't really think he's open to a primary challenge, though, because it would be pretty difficult to primary him from the right, and a moderate wouldn't beat him either. I would like to think that Alabama was the vomiting up of the nationalist ipecac so that a Trumpist challenger would shake out in the primary. If they could find a non-kooky Texas Independence/Separatist candidate, it would be game on, though.
