President Donald Trump made a prediction about the GOP's control of the Senate at a fundraiser this week,
"I think the Senate is tough actually. The Senate is very tough," Trump said, according to an attendee who shared the President's comments on condition of anonymity with the Post. "There are a couple senators I can't really get involved in. I just can't do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can't help some of them. I don't want to help some of them."
Trump's comments were made at a closed-door gathering held in Nashville, Tennessee, before the last presidential debate, according to the Post, where he said that he thinks the GOP will "take back the House."
Hours after the Post released its story, Trump told reporters that he hopes the GOP maintains control of the Senate.
"I hope to hold the Senate, we do. I think from a presidential standpoint we're winning a lot of states including this one. I think we're doing very well here. The crowd is certainly enthusiastic. I hope that we do. I think we're gonna take back the House because people are tired of Nancy Pelosi..."
Trump's comments come at a time when Republicans in tight down-ballot races, who had hoped to ride the President's coattails to victory, have little desire to align with him. Several influential Republicans have pleaded with Trump to abruptly change his tactics in the final two weeks to zero-in on an economic message, stop downplaying the coronavirus pandemic and to quit launching attacks against his public health experts -- namely Dr. Anthony Fauci.
... President at times has even seemed to not be interested in saving members of his own party. In Maine, Trump has gone after endangered GOP Sen. Susan Collins...

In the states where Trump leads, he’s up an average of 6.5%...
Margin of error is usually +/- 3%.
In only one state where Trump is ahead, is it well within the margin of error (ME) at 2%.
Three others (NH, NV, MN) are *at* the margin of error at 3%.
Only one of the states Biden is leading (NJ) is he AT the margin of error.
NJ at 3%.
The other two are within the margin of error:
NM and OR at 1%.
and
CO and VA are tied.
Tie:
CO Trump 47 Biden 47
VA Trump 47 Biden 47
Undecideds usually stay home or break for the incumbent.
This has the makings of a Trumpslide...!”
Woah!!!!
And polls don’t capture the “shy Trump” votes....
Dem, Ind, or Rep.
Well, Hitler was a fag :)
I think the Senate will be 51 to 52 R.

This pure One Flew Over The Coo Coos Nest stuff. These people flaming lunatics embarrassing themselves.
Gee. Thank you for those encouraging words.
CNN is living in a bubble,
There are 9 days to go, Murkowski jumped, Romney is playing his normal games but will jump, Collins is lost in the woods but was born in Maine and may find her way out.
Oh please that’s what every campaign email and text tells me, 50 times a day, to raise money.
If the incumbent is polling below 45%, the undecideds break against the incumbent 9 to 1. However if the President is polling above 45%, the undecideds usually break 50/50. That is what usually happens historically. That is of course the undecideds are truly undecideds.
So sez CNN concern troll Kelly Mena.
Partisan Media Shills update.
If we lose Senate,a Trump win is lame duck for 4 years.
All I need to know is that this is a CNN article.
CNN is LIEberal!
LIEberals LIE!
CNN LIES!
I agree and it is CNN/WaPo. So major grain of salt.
but it’s true that a lot of “R” Senators have been thorns on his side.
My memory is that Beverly Hills was the only area in Los Angeles county to go for Trump in 2016.
From the world of fake news .... CNN breaking fake news.
CNN ... “on condition of anonymity”
fake news,anyone?
Fake news disinformation campaign. Its CNN.
Yes it’s CNN so the title is misleading. Read the article in full. Even if article is true, Trump is not being defeatist, just saying Senate is going to be tougher than house due to all the RINO’s. He’s speaking to donors. Money needed to keep the Senate!
Darth Vader was the poster of those polls. Supposedly Trump internals. He has posted before and been correct, so we will see...
McConnell said tonight that it is important to get ACB confirmed since the next election, is sooner or later going to undo their work of the last 4 years. Kind of a bummer coming from him.
And people say he has no principles. Hah.
You know who you are, RINOs.
