This was 75-25 D just two weeks ago. How can this kind of shift happen without a like shift in the Presidential race???

Exactly!
A lot of GOP candidates are advertising to keep a check on her thighness.
Good, then Trump’s conservative judges will be greenlighted.
If the Republicans hold the Senate by winning some key races, then I think it will be largely a function of Trump supporters holding their noses and voting for Republicans down the ballot.
Nate silver is playing 50 50 in all the predictions so he can live to fight another day. In another words he is punting.
If the Democrats take the Senate then it will be judicial Armageddon even if Trump wins the Presidency.
Under the 20th Amendment, the new Congress takes office on January 3 but the new President does not take office until January 20. That means that if Trump is elected President and the Democrats retake the Senate, then Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer will have almost three weeks to push through ratification of all of Obama’s nominees from the Supreme Court down to the district courts and all of the federal agencies and there will not be a damned thing that Trump or the Republican minority will be able to do to stop it.
When Harry Reid unilaterally abolished the Senate filibuster for all Presidential appointments except for the Supreme Court the ONLY reason that he left Supreme Court filibusters alone is because there were no Supreme Court vacancies at the time. Chuckie Schumer will unilaterally abolish the Supreme Court filibuster 5 minutes after he takes office.
It gets worse. Scalia’s Supreme Court seat is not the only Supreme Court seat at issue. If it means that Obama can fill their seats, then the day after the election far-left octogenarian Justices Ginsburg and Breyer will announce their retirements. They probably already have the young far-left wing radical replacements picked out. That will mean a far-left wing Supreme Court majority of Obama appointees will be legislating every aspect of our lives for the next 30 years.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Trump wins in landslide and they have to change their meme to reflect reality..like George Carlin used to say...”reality...what a concept”? Or was that Robin Williams? Oh well they are both gone so who cares...lol
Excellent post!
I can explain it. Trump made a huge point of telling the people that he NEEDED to have a Republican Congress, if he was going to be able to make the necessary changes in our laws and culture.
While I have only supported a couple of people with a few dollars, I will be voting for every Repub on my ballot.
In Illinois Kirk is a goner. The D rat party is running anti-Trump commercials with the aim to help down ballot races. IMO they are hilarious in their content but they might be effective in this state. The whole D strategy in Illinois boils down to miserable scolding white women are not to be trifled with in any circumstance.
I was at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania last week. Trump had to gently scold the crowd when they started booing the two Republican Congressmen who introduced him. It was honestly one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen at a public event. LOL.
Silver is a dweeb fraud created by hyper publicity and a couple of lucky calls. He’s famous because the media decided he should be. I’m hoping this election will be the end of the “pollster as rock star.”
Nate is looking at reality and knows that he rather keep his reputation and lose some lib but-kissers, than not be able to make a paycheck.
The polls like always were propaganda for the dems 2 weeks ago and now they need to start to get close to the truth.
One of the best pieces of news I heard today is that Johnson has really closed the gap on Feingold in Wisconsin over the last few days, so there is a faint hope that the GOP can hold that seat.
The Republicans are defending a lot of seats this year, and they don't really have a good chance to pick up seats currently held by Democrats -- even with retiring Democratic incumbents in a few states.
Ya gotta love the bogus precision implied by that tenth of a decimal!
I’m pissed at mine (Toomey) and called his office to voice disapproval but I’m still voting for him. McGinty is bad news.
Thank you!
