Well they’ve been saying they only need to flip four seats to take back the Senate. That’s..... do-able. I’m glad to see their chances of doing that going down.
that is if they also win the presidency, and they will need 5 if Trump wins (most likely scenario). They will also have to hold Michigan and Minnesota which are both toss-ups now. Given there is no enthusiasm among the democrat base (I would almost say they are even demoralized) and enthusiasm among republicans is very high, I don't see them doing everything they need to do to win the senate - hold their close seats and pick off five R incumbents. My personal feeling is we will end up with 52- 53 seats with the VP tiebreaker
A bunch of voters hear the word "vote" and think "President". A bunch of voters have no idea what the House and Senate actually do, and don't care. A fairly large percentage of voters tick the box for their preferred candidate for President, and leave the rest of the ballot blank.
Add in the fact that a number of the Republicans in the Senate are RINO's who hate Donald Trump, and may not get a "yes" vote from some Trump supporters, and yes: it's entirely possible we might lose the Senate in November. I personally don't think it will happen--I'm thinking a landslide is on the way. But there is an outside chance.
Don't forget, a LOT of house RINOs resigned before the 2018 election. With a presidential election on the horizon to pull out more voters than 2018, a house win for us is possible.

Oh yeah. Something like thirty of 'em. In thirty separate House races, the incumbency advantage disappeared from the Republican side of the ballot, giving the Dems a huge bennie. Even with that, the D's only managed to pick up around forty seats. It was pretty much the worst performance ever by the opposition party in an American midterm.
Yes, a House win for the Republicans is possible this November. I say it's very likely. Just that it's less likely than Trump completely bulldozing Biden into the pavement. Don't bet the farm on a House win. :)
Because some globalist uniparty R's are trying to lose. Gardner is in it to lose in Colorado. There is no GOP in Colorado, just the globalist uniparty.
I BELIEVE THEY KNOW THE PRESIDENCY IS LOST SO THEY ARE COVERTLY WORKING ON RIGGING ELECTIONS TO MAINTAIN THE HOUSE AND TAKE THE SENATE.
Most of the time, when polls are wrong, the error leans in the direction of the Democrats. Especially today, when rampaging mobs are attacking anybody seen with a MAGA hat, and many conservatives hide in the closet and don't talk to poll-takers.
So you can reliably take any poll, and add a few extra points for the Republican side, and get a more accurate result.
what on Earth made anyone think we were ever going to lose the Senate?
McStains Succesor will lose, as will Cory Gardner.

Yeah, I'm terrified of a Trump with but Senate loss.
Better than a Trump loss and a Senate loss. :)
(yeah, I know that's not very reassuring........)

We did lose the House in 2018.

Don't be a fool.

While most are focused on the presidency.
So much fake bullshit is going to happen between now and election time that polls don't really matter.
Agreed. We have no idea what's in store for the next few months. Buckle up.

Y'all keep forgetting about Doug Jones getting destroyed in AL this fall
False. They never had a chance.
Widespread mail in voting with a Democrat postal union controlling it and you think they have no chance?
If anything is our downfall, it will be cockiness. Let's try to remember that...
I think the margins will be too big to cheat.
If you're not counting the votes, how much do margins matter?
They can't cheat if the margins are too great
I BELIEVE THEY KNOW THE PRESIDENCY IS LOST SO THEY ARE COVERTLY WORKING ON RIGGING ELECTIONS TO MAINTAIN THE HOUSE AND TAKE THE SENATE.
But go ahead. Keep being arrogant.
The fact that they even have a chance is already mind-boggling.
They’re gonna try to steal it with mail-in voting. You can’t trust USPS to not fuck with your packages especially if they’re politically sensitive.
Trump said he expects to win the House but the Senate could be more difficult... Hopefully the tide changes enough and we get all 3
They are about to lose dog catcher and mosquito control also.
That isn't even close to true.
