If they are smart, they will get on board the Trump Train early.

Donald may invite them to a few campaign events in their state. I am betting he has long, broad coattails.

If they sign on to supporting some of his reforms, they may manage to keep their seats.

It would be a real shame for them to have to watch his events from the audience instead of from the stage...

I have voted for McConnell since he first ran for County Judge here in KY. He has become what he once fought against, I will never vote for him again. Those that follow his advise will surely fall.

They can’t, the people who own them and pay them to keep The Cheap Labor Express running would never let them admit it.

BruceCampbell’s chin acts like a democrat troll. I would advice all to ignore its worthless drivel.

I expect the stupid RINOs to realize this was anger against 20 years of the Republican not doing anything real on stopping illegal immigration, curbing legal immigration levels and the insane trade imbalance. Instead they are doubling down on stupid.

Stop and end the analysis with Supreme Court confirmations, because for the next few years, that's going to be the most important thing the Senate does.

I don't like McConnell, but Senators are notoriously independent and difficult to lead. It's like herding cats. And the reality is that McConnell simply does not have enough Senators who are sufficiently conservative to force through a conservative agenda. Too many RINOs, but getting rid of RINOs that are from liberal States is not the answer because the only thing that will ever replace them is a more liberal Democrat.

So far, the Senate appears to be holding firm on the Supreme Court nomination. The Senate also has prevented substantive legislative amendments to the ACA, refused to pass his immigration legislation, and refused to pass his environmental stuff. A Democratic Senate majority would confirm that nominee and pass all that legislation.

Obama has done some workarounds with executive orders, but those are far easier to reverse than legislation, and some of those executive orders have been stricken down by the courts.

The bottom line is that as much as we might wish the Senate had been more confrontational, anyone who thinks they were no better than a Democrat-majority Senate would have been is simply ignorant.

Yeah, I'm not driven by irrational emotion to cut off my nose to spite my face. Any marginally rational fan of Trump should be praying that he gets to keep a Republican Senate.

Not my fault some of you folks don't seem to understand how important it is that we continue to control the Senate.

Amen. Can’t believe that people who declared war on every other elected Republican are shocked that those elected Republicans don’t agree with them.

That’s because they are all so safe and Mitch the Turtle Man is a political genius. This WON’T happen. They will read the polls and know we will vote for Trump and leave the polling places so Chuckie can take over. F&&^K YOU Mitch.

I’d like to see Rubio lose his seat.

What a pathetic response.

It's really amazing. You accuse me of being a Democratic plant because I argue how important it is that the Democrats not get control of the Senate.

That would be funny if those who think like you weren't so numerous. .
