Pubs will add 5-6 seats in the Senate this time.
We will dream that dream together, eh’ bro!
From the high ground near me, I can see the taller buildings of Chiraq. Being hearing impaired, I do not hear the Sirens song of the city.
Having to pay for the many promises, graft, greed...all from the big city payrollers, taxes up, more money for the payrollers... And more votes tor the dem-dums.
Actually, I don’t think it’s a dream.
34 Senate seats are up for election.
Dems need to roll 2.
WITHOUT losing ANY.
(The odds on that are extremely slim to none)
Dems have 25 seats (2 ind. who vote dem)
Pubs have 9
Of the 9 Pub seats,
8 are in states that Trump won,
only one is in a state won by Hillary.
Of the 25 Dem seats,
10 are in states that Trump won.
5 of those, Trump won by double digits.
Just by numbers/stats/odds alone,
if both sides lost 1/3 of their seats.
The Pubs would lose 3
The Dems would lose 8
That equals a 5 seat pick up for the Pubs.
The “dream” for me, is the Pubs picking up 9 seats,
giving them 60 in the Senate.
As far as the House,
I think that could swing 10 seats either way.
But that is more “hunch” than looking at numbers or demographics.
