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.

I grimaced at this headline . . . until I saw those three magic letters: CNN. I thni e wii hod the Senate.
Trump said, according to an attendee who shared the President's comments on condition of anonymity with the Post.
Might lose 2-3 current Senators, but Alabama is a sure pickup. Cunningham’s sex scandal will save Tillis, and Kelly’s trashing of law enforcement and KKK picture will save McNally in Arizona.
Trump will also have a long coattail.
Those are NOT Rasmussen numbers. Someone keeps copying and pasting that garbage. Whoever started it yesterday said that “his friend’s friend worked for an internal polling” and that these were the results. All just made up jibber jabber.
Why Nebraska? Parton it may be to help in a Representative race. Part of it may be be ause Trump is running out of places to go.
IMO there are lasting damages done during Kavenaugh
Plus one to 54 would make me happy.
At least Trump has a sense of reality.
I’m sticking with D+6.
Actual, named sources....like the Humper computer repairman and the Humper biz partner.....not so much.
I meant Hitler.
Shocking...and sad.
She’s in Ventura County. Ojai.
Bingo!
Hear, freaking, hear!
Don’t we also have a shot in the Senate race in MN?
Yes, MN Senate is in play...
If this becomes a tidal wave for Trump...there will be no worries...
I know I’m not voting for any ‘Rats.
The ChiComs may be running out of money to conduct fake polls and then to pay their trolls to post them.
Linda?
