Can Republicans hold on to Senate majority in 2016? There’s reason for doubt.

If the GOP continues to go RINO they will deserve to lose the Senate in 2016

I think Grassley and McCain will probably retire.
The only solid GOP pickups I see are in IN and MO. Both of the Democratic incumbents are vulnerable.
Whether the GOP Senate is still popular in 2016 remains to be seen.

Whenever the GOP holds anything, it’s only a temporary blip.

Here is the speculation, but a lot can happen in the meantime.
In Illinois, it’s looking like Tammy Duckworth will run against Mark Kirk in a strongly Democratic state.
In Nevada, we need for Brian Sandoval to run for the Senate. Offer him anything he wants.

So far, only two weeks after the victory, as expected, sellouts McConnell and McCain are doing their best to guarantee a GOP loss in 2016; McConnell with his no-on-shutdown comments, and McCain with his Salon-based orgasm over Loretta Lynch. Before long, we should be seeing McCain setting up his tent and sleeping bag outside the Hillary in 2016 campaign headquarters.

There is also a big possibility that the next 2 years of Obama, Reid and Pelosi will so damage the rat brand that no one will want to go near it.

If McLame were to retire, I’d consider that a Yuge win for our side.

Oh geeze.
No, of course not.
They cannot even hold onto a majority a week afte the most historic bote-out since 1928.
They don’t want it.
That’s why a thrid party is stupid. Just move in and take over this rotting corpse.

Some of these guys won’t be big losses IMO
McConnell winning was a big loss in the long-term

Maybe. If the amnesty stunt succeeds, they’ll have a lot more voters.

This is the Washington Post, their prognostications are suspect. They did not think the Republicans would win it this time until the votes were counted.
To: Clintonfatigued
Can the Democratic Party even make it to 2016? There’s reason to doubt.

The Washington Compost is going to tell us how the Republicans will fail in 2016?
All the Republicans have to do is stand up against Obama every time he opens his mouth and they will get re-elected in even bigger margins than they did this last time around.

I am glad they are staying. The rats need to keep their genius leaders.
