Thank you Mitch McConnell. You sure are able to sink conservative candidates that don't agree with you and who refuse to bow before you. But you are equally able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

So down goes the GOP Senate and with it the confirmations of conservative judges who you have ensured were slow-walked, and congressional funding for the Wall, as well as so many other things that Americans are calling out for that you in your short-sided vision, think are somehow not worthy of your last full measure.

If the Senate is lost, the defeat lies at your feet.

The only reason it would be in play is because of GOPe RINOS like you, McTurtle.

Arizona, Nevada and Tennessee
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AZ and TN have two Amnesty Senators and NV’s Heller voted for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill. He’s afraid of losing Amnesty Senators.
AZ is being set up to elect McSallycain as the next Flake.
If that doesn’t work and AZ and TN nominate MAGA candidates, Mitch will help elect the Democrat like he does whenever the Bush League Republican loses the primary.

McConnell said. “We have three vulnerabilities: Arizona, Nevada and Tennessee.”////

Nevada and Tenn already have presumptive GOP candidates. That leaves the turtle free to concentrate his war chest against Kelli Ward in AZ.

If trump could manage to have a MAGA rally every two weeks from here on out I believe he could hold the line or +1 in the Senate. He sells. Big time.

The traditional logic that says the President’s party loses seats in the mid-term makes sense when the President has a party. These guys with the “R” after their name do not appear to be in the same party as President Trump, so new logic needs to be applied to old traditions.

I think you guys are getting too literal and personal about this.

McConnell is for Mitch, and for the Chao family. But, RINO or not, he’s not as much good to either himself or the Chao family without a majority. His inclination is GOPe, but if the power consolidates with Trump, he’ll play along.

I think he’s just playing down the latest positive polls, not spiking the ball. He’s going to love having a bigger majority.

That said, he’s an A-hole of the first order. Elaine likes him because he’s a powerful Senator.

America is presently governed by the Senate.

The House of Representatives is of no value what so ever.

The Senate Rules must be changed to eliminate the 60 vote rule on all legislation. The rule has destroyed governance.

They had the real chance of picking up at least 6 Senate seats.
When you have a fool as a leader, all you get is foolish decisions.

The only reason ANYTHING is in “play” is because of quisling rino’s.

If these quisling cowards United behind Trump and His Trade and Immigration plans, the Republicans would have a Clean Sweep and most likely control 2/3 rds of each house as a result.

You are right. Although batty, if Pelosi had only 1 other Democrat member in the House with her she would say they are taking it back over. Mitch could be ahead 55-45 and act like he is behind. If any Conservative is running he will make sure we get behind.

He is inculcating defeatism amongst Republicans because he wants Democrats to win.

"Democrats are defending ten seats in states won by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, while Republicans are only defending one seat in a state won by Hillary Clinton in 2016."

Yes, it is true. The Senate is very much in play. But the Republicans only have nominal control, not effective control, right now. Any legislation or appointment can be stopped by a John McCain or Jeff Flake. Wouldn't be possible if the Republicans close in on 60 seats.

The only way the senate remotely gets into play is if republican turnout is abysmal nationally
