RCP: four Dem pickups in Senate
RCP Politics ^ | 9/28/16

Posted on 09/28/2016 7:01:57 AM PDT by pabianice

Per RealClearPolitics, they now have the Dems picking-up four Senate seats, which would mean a 50-50 split with the vice-president casting the deciding vote. A Hillary win would mean she could appoint as many as three SCOTUS justices if the Dem Senate tosses the 60-vote requirement for SCOTUS picks, as they assuredly will. Not a happy thought.

The Dems will get Graham or McCain or one of the other psuedo Republicans to flip.

Hillary will not win. Trump is going to win and win big.

Geez....I clicked on the link and went to a page that had a ton of BS opinion piece article links....I finally looked at their “electoral map” scenario where they’re carrying Georgia and Florida as toss-ups. I know that the one for Georgia is horseshit. Trump will carry my state comfortably.

RCP - "Real Clinton Politics."

They rely on averages of outdated (not to mention their being phony, "weighted", "Likely Voter" sham polls to begin with) poll numbers to repeatedly present a skewed, deceitful, integrity-devoid, agenda-strewn result.

Anyone who even cares what these sphincters have to say is a lemming. A jaundiced, constipated lemming.

Had they not nominated a corrupt, bitchy shrew the Dems surely would have taken down Pat Toomey here in PA.

McGinty (PA) and Ross (NC) lead only by an average of one point. That includes the Ross +9 outlier in NC. Further, Heck (R) is leading polling for Reid’s seat in NV. Bayh’s lead in IN over Young (R) is shrinking.

More likely, the Dems will net a gain of +2.

Kirk in Illinois is toast.

Johnson in Wisconsin is in big trouble. I think one reason why Priebus is doing okay by Trump is that Johnson’s position relies on a strong Trump performance in Wisconsin.

The Dems won’t win a Senate seat here in PA this year.

Pennsylvanians roundly dislike the new D Governor Tom Wolfe who shows zero ability to negotiate even when in his best interest and the first D and first female Attorney General in PA history, Kathleen Kane, who was convicted on all felony counts earlier this year.

Both elected less than two years ago; and Wolfe’s personality flaws were immediately evident after taking office; and Kane was in legal trouble within months after taking office.

The backlash will keep Toomey in office. McGinty has the same liberal personality as Kane and the bad memories in PA are just too fresh of the mistake voters made just two years ago.

Might be just enough bad taste in everyone’s mouth to flip PA to Trump, too.

Trust me RINO Johnny Isakson will get reelected. Even I am going to break down and vote for the worthless so and so in Nov. I usually just let him live or die on his own.

They’re gonna pick up FOUR seats in a year where the head of the ticket is a disaster?

Riiiight.

It’s just a tough senate year.

These are the 2010 class running for reelection, and in 2010 the Republicans won everywhere.

The Dems have few seats to defend because they didn’t win anything in 2010.

Illinois and Wisconsin seats probably gone. Hopefully Nevada pickup makes up one, but that’s the onln pickup opportunity.

Repubs will hold the senate if they lose two of the following seats.

New Hampshire (Ayotte)
Pennsylvania (Toomey)
Ohio (Portman)
N Carolina (Burr)
Florida (Rubio)
Indiana (open)
Missouri (Blount)
Arizona (McCain)

Rubio, Portman and McCain look like they are doing well, but you can see it’s a tough fight for the Repubs this year.

On a happier note, it’s going to be the opposite story in 2018 as all the guys who came in with Obama will have to run for reelection.

You are presuming that, if there are 51 Republicans in the Senate, that they will refuse to confirm Hillary’s nominees.

First of all. Stop taking the stupid blue pill. The GOP Senate will confirm Merrick Garland on November 9.

Second. When Clinton nominated the radical pro-abortion anti-American activist Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Court, do you know how many Republicans voted against her?

Bad as McLame is, he's not (quite) as abhorrent as the two worthless schlubs we have here in VA: Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.
