I am much more pessimistic than the author is about Republican chances to hold the Senate after the 2016 elections./rwa

Hedi in North Dakota will vote left but when she is back in N.D. she will sound like a FREEPER.

Dorgan and Conrad were famous for voting left and sounding conservative when they were back in the state.

Senate Democrats Face Long Minority

Mayhaps. But the GOP is already filling the void with more of the same crap.

Senate Democrats Face Long Minority

---

Bull sh*t!

They’re about to grant amnesty to over 5 million illegals, and a short time later grant them citizenship! The Dems are going to be the majority once again for perpetuity!

We’re about to have our a$$es handed to us!

I am much more pessimistic than the author is about Republican chances to hold the Senate after the 2016 elections.

I am pessimistic too, but a tad less. After going over all the races, I can easily see the GOP losing IL, PA, and WI. The good news will be we will still have the majority, and could pull a flip in CO if the GOP puts up a decent candidate.

I agree with you.

This author is truly delusional -- he must be a GOPe puke.

On Thursday the Marxist will take the steps to insure 10's of millions of new RAT voters in the next few years.

I have no doubt the evil RATS and evil RINOs are routing the illegal criminals to the States that can be flipped to the RATs.

I can guarantee some democrat retirements between now and then too, these power hungry idiots never like being in the minority for long.

[DoodleDawg]

Just remember that in January 2009 the Democrats had 60 Senate seats. In January 2015 they’ll have 45. All it will take is a disaster of Republican president. And if anyone can force one on us it’s the GOP establishment.

The third paragraph begins “In 2016.” That should be “In 2018.”

Depends. Amnesty could destroy Dems’ hopes of getting the senate back in a generation. It may not stop amnesty, but the mood of the country is so anti-Obama/anti-Dem right now that anything is possible.

[ExCTCitizen]

I'm not pessimistic. However, I am going to say if ILLEGALS get citizenship, the Marxists will win in 2016. What the Tea Party needs to do is this:

1) Organize a tea party group in all 50 states.

2) Start a candidate training school.

3)Fight RINOs and Marxists for the next 2 years.

Grassley in Iowa is very popular.

Not only that, but that farmer is the likely future head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. If he gets turned out, there is the risk that the seat may be taken by a lawyer.

"Senate Democrats Face Long Minority"

No they don't. Mitch and his Senate friends are already donning their kneepads and preparing to service the minority Democrats. They'll do anything to keep Obama and his Democrats happy.

[Defiant]

It is going to be a looooong 2 years, but that is about how long the Republicans will hold this majority. After they lose it, I expect McConnell to switch parties.
