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 Trumps campaign tactics. The Kentucky senator said he hopes Trump settles down and follows the script.

We all need to work on keeping Congress. However the presidential race turns out, we’re going to need the most conservative Congress we can get.
“If things are dicey, its because of you, Mitch, and the other RINOs that act(ed) like Democrats in supporting the entire Obama agenda.”
Exactly. What is the difference between the demodogs and the republican’ts?
Gee....and what exactly have you done with the Senate, Mitch?
That’s good news, Mitchy me boy, you guys don’t deserve to be re=elected.
McConnell & Co. need to get with the America-first program. Go, Trump, GO!!
No thanks to you, Mitch.
Besides, if Hillary is elected, what difference will it make? The Republican Senate would just be her rubber stamp anyway.
I dont see any difference between the Dems having the Senate or the GOP keeping it..either way the Dems always get what they want..the GOP bends over backwards “Crossing the aisle” and giving them EVERYTHING under the sun that they want
Sorry Mitchell. We just can’t care any less after what you juveniles did with it the last time we gave it to you.
Mondale lost almost every state and the Democrats picked up seats. Mitch is what he is, a globalist hack.
he doesn’t really care
What will we do without Mark Kirk?
There are only about a half dozen conservative senators, and we couldn’t agree on who they are.
The congress and senate have no one to blame but themselves, BUT they will blame Trump!!!!
One-party rule. The communists’ goal was to take over both parties, and they did it.
Things have already been dicey Mitch because you RINOS go along with the Dems far too much.
The Republicans in the U.S. Senate need to humble themselves and learn from Trump especially since he spanked the rest of the GOP field.
The RINOs acted stupidly.
I think it’s pretty clear who the conservatives are.
Twenty-four GOP-held seats are on the ballot this year, compared with 10 for Democrats, he noted.
...
That’s the real reason for any concern. The GOP should be thankful it has a winner and fighter running for president for a change.
