Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday that GOP prospects for keeping control of the Senate after the November elections are “very dicey,” sounding an alarm amid mounting Republican concerns about presidential nominee Donald Trump. […]

Twenty-four GOP-held seats are on the ballot this year, compared with 10 for Democrats, he noted. McConnell was promoted to majority leader two years ago when a Republican surge wrested Senate control from Democrats.

McConnell did not mention Trump as being a drag on Republican down-ballot races, but he chided Trump’s campaign tactics. The Kentucky senator said he hopes Trump “settles down and follows the script.” …

We need more, and more House members too. That’s where the party can unite right now.

So, Mitch the jellyfish alienates people who vote GOP because he has no spine. Instead of growing one, he blames Trump. Typical emasculated, establishment hack. This is what is wrong with DC and the GOPe.

I’m not voting for Kirk. Trump won Illinois, and this RINO constantly bashes Trump, forget. Kirk is done.

Why? Look how they’ve wasted the majority they’ve had. Mike Pence might be able to make better deals with Harry Reid than the Turdle McConnell.

“We all need to work on keeping Congress.”

They deserve to be turned out, but you are correct. We need to keep the sorry wretches for now as damage control.

Their chances would be better if most Republican Senators were not such tools.

No things are dicey because of simple math. The GOP has 24 of the 36 Senate seats up for election in in 2016. The Dims only need to win 4 for a tie and 5 to take control of the Senate. Something like 8 of those seats are up in states that went for Obama both times. Keeping control in any year would be dicey but it sure as hell doesn’t help that many of those supporting Trump don't support the GOP’s efforts to maintain control

It makes absolutely no sense to me that so many people here continuously trash the very folks Trump will need to get anything done. Pure insanity.
