I want the Dems to hold the majority in both the House and Senate but with neutered margins.

One reason why winning a majority in the Senate is important:

Holding a Majority on the Judiciary Committee can stop the appointment of Progressives to the Federal bench and the Supreme Court.

A GOP senate might delay a lot of the confirmations and defeat the worst of the liberal appointments, but Bammy will get his Supreme Court appointments.

I’d rather have the House than the Senate -— tax bills must originate in the House.

Frankly, I’d like to have the RATS with nominal control in both chambers (like 220-215 in the House and 51-49 in the Senate) but zero operational control.

That said, a tsunami is building, and we better be ready to lead and fight, because it now looks like we may recapture both the House and the Senate.

You can be damned sure that a GOP Congress will enhance, not diminish, the prospects of a 2nd Obama term as president, because the MSM will have its new enemy: the GOP-controlled Congress. 1996 all over again.
