We need as many Senate seats as possible to offset expected losses in 2016, when many more Republicans are up than Dems. IMHO we can absorb a one seat loss, no more.
Youre also dead wrong on restoring the nominee filibuster. It needs to go back to 60. Otherwise you’ll see McCain, Graham, whatshername from Maine and a couple others crossing the aisle to give the Dems the 50 votes they need to continue packing the Courts with Obama-appointed Liberals.
