Democrats are increasingly optimistic they will take back control of the Senate in November, buoyed by establishment wins in Maryland and the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Former government official Katie McGinty easily dispatched Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania’s Senate Democratic primary on Tuesday, benefiting from an infusion of cash from national Democratic groups and last-minute backing from Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama.

Democrats now have the candidate they want to take on GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, one of the most endangered Senate Republicans as Democrats aim to net the four or five seats they will need to retake the Senate majority they lost two years ago. …

“‘Rats could still pick up the Senate. I hope they don’t.”

I see no discernable difference on who wins.We supposedly control the House & Senate? The Uniparty gave Obama 100% funding on everything he wanted, including the financing of imported Islamic terrorists to come here as “refugees”. We need to vote out every incumbent we can. Only 2% of them are any good anyway. 2% don’t cut it folks!
