The GOP will have a lot more seats in the Senate... so while Mitt may join, it won’t be 51-49... I expect it to be 57-43 or more…
There are only 8 Republican seats in the “Class of ’18” Republican Senate caucus. Just to get to 50% of the total “Class of ’18,” the Republicans would have to net a pick up 9 seats this November . . . which would put them in filibuster proof territory as long as the RINOs are on board.

If you want to really think big, the average of the Republican caucus winnings in ’14 and ’16 is 22 seats - which, if exceeded by one this year, would give them a two-thirds majority. Veto proof, if that mattered - which it wouldn’t, since the House Republicans will be happy even to keep a bare majority in November - let alone a two-thirds majority. But it would make it possible to convict an impeachment (of, say, a Ninth Circus judge) by the House . . .

But we haven’t even kept the House yet - VOTE! The body politic needs to rebuke the Democrats soundly!

REMEMBER THE KAVANAUGH! (hearings)

I have expected 6+ before Kavanaugh and if the winds blew just right they could hit double digits... kavanaugh and the general left wing insanity have definitely pushed the winds closer and closer to just right.
