If its a Trump landslide, GOP will hold the House and the Senate.

A year ago, the GOP establishment was terrified Trump would be the new Goldwater, costing them their majority at the tail end of a Democratic tidal wave.

Now it looks like Trump will win big and GOP prospects have brightened considerably.

If Trump was really gonna lose, the Senate would be already be gone. People can read the tea leaves.

I want to believe it makes a difference, but experience proves otherwise. The upper chamber is wall to wall globalonists. It is in the House that Conservatism has any effect at all, despite lyin' ryan and his merry band of sellouts in leadership.

I have a truly wild conspiracy theory as to why they all sell out, but don't want to get kicked off FR for sounding like a nut.

The GOP elite hates Trump because he made them look fools and he’s been an even more adept politician than people who have been around in Washington for decades.

They wanted Jeb but they’re hitched to Trump.

That is a very negative post

We must have a Republican Senate and we must all work to insure that is so

Thoughts to the contrary are foolish

Ryan was returned, McCain was returned... which should tell you something.

With Trump, the old maxim comes to mind: “victory has a thousand fathers, defeat is an orphan.”

A Trump win will bring many of the #NeverTrumpers over and others presently immune to his charms.

People go with the strong horse.

And Mitch McConnell surrendered before the vote count was finished.

I expect the Pubs will lose the Senate, given the way they crapped all over those of us who gave them majority. They may hold the House, but their numbers will be diminished for the same reason.

It’s not true that Trump’s upcoming victory in NH will help Kelly Ayotte - quite the opposite.

She’s almost openly anti-Trump. Her ads call her “an independent voice in Washington”. She despises Trump supporters, and the man himself.

Yes, the fact that she’s running against an incompetent communist will help, but not that much.

The Senate is the UniParty’s safe space.

I predict the Senate will 50/50 with Pence as VP, he will be the Senate pro tempore.

Better than a Charles Schumer as majority leader.

Of course the spineless, craven gutless, wormlike Senate leadership will let the Dems run the chamber so they can blame their failings on them...

Remember Jumpin Jim Jeffords who switched from the GOP to became an independent and in effect gave the Senate to the Dems last time it was 50/50....

I bet, it Linda Graham or John McCain that will do the same thing if that happens..

I have to disagree, Senators love to hear and see themselves on T.V.

Every talking head show will feature a never trumper, you know...for fair and balanced reporting !!!

Many of the never trumper Senators will have six years tenure, so they will outlast a Trump Presidency...

“...They bested some of their pettiest political tricks, including three different Democratic candidates in Montana.”

Not true. Here in Montana we have two Senators and One Rep.

Currently the Rep. is a Republican but our Senators are split - and absolutely both were NOT on the ballot together.

And we have a worthless D (for dimwit) Governor.
