The likelihood of a Republican Senate takeover continues to increase with all three major election models giving the GOP at least a six in ten probability of winning the six seats the party needs to win take back control.
The trend lines in both the LEO and FiveThirtyEight models highlight movement over the past week toward Republicans -- with a slight tick back toward Democrats in the last few days."

I won’t, but the best strategy is to gain the majority, including the squishes, that will empower the TEAs, who will make noise and trouble for the RINOs. Then, slowly but surely replace GOPe with TEApublicans until we really have something.
In your zeal to install a GOP Senate at any costs you are ignoring the back stabbing tag team match the GOPe does on conservatives. We simply won’t be able to survive much more of the progressive GOP/MSM/Dem triple team carpet bombing of our leaders. It’s grinding down the viability of conservativism in the same way Bush was destroyed by the Dems.
” When men refuse to stand up to their duties, obligations, and responsibilities.... well, you get the GOP-e; and you also get the Dems, ready, willing, and salivating to capitalize on the lack of honor and lack of courage of their “colleagues across the aisle”.”
Why I am NOT enthusiastic. My fear is the first thing they will do is pass amnesty. Then nothing else will matter.
Without realizing it, I think I paraphrased Ayn Rand with that comment...
“When men reduce their virtues to the approximate, then evil acquires the force of an absolute; when loyalty to an unyielding purpose is dropped by the virtuous, it’s picked up by scoundrels - and you get the indecent spectacle of a cringing, bargaining, traitorous good and a self-righteously uncompromising evil.”
-Ayn Rand
Not sure what they are reading, but FiveThirtyEight has not had a “slight tilt toward the Dems again.”
It’s only going more GOP.
I totally agree!!!
I'd say that's already happened. Hussein Obola is doing everything to make that happen, including overwhelming or outright destroying all our systems. 100 million Americans out of the workforce...half of us on foodstamps...We're in a depression!
Right after the election more ObolaCare provisions will kick in, including the "employer mandate" which had been deliberately put off due to pushback from unions and other RAT-related entities.
Get set for more screaming, unemployment and mayhem.
No I'm not, as ground troops, we need to help the elected conservatives fight back. They have no access to the people through the media, other than talk radio and FNC.
There needs to be a constant barrage of letters to the editor, billboards and semi-truck trailers bearing messages and graphics mocking and challenging the RINOs...complete with their phone numbers.
We simply won’t be able to survive much more of the progressive GOP/MSM/Dem triple...
We'll survive, but the US may not survive another term of RAT control. The Republicans are fully aware of the unpopularity and damage caused by ObamaCare, they have provisions to get rid of it. It's no secret, and it bears no semblance to the specter of government controlled health care.
“Isn’t she as reliable as the honorable and respectable Joe Biden and Howard Dean?”

Almost, almost as reliable for sure. Maybe even nearbout as reliable.
“...Democrats will hold the senate after the mid-terms.”
Does she mean that Democrats will win enough seats to retain control or does she mean that the Democrats will not give up power, alleging election improprieties, suing until doomsday and registering Mickey and Minnie Mouse to vote?
IMHO
Well.... I’ll go ahead and say it since it has yet to be said...
“What difference does it make?”
Its not going to matter...
republicans do not know how to act as a majority, so nothing will get done...
Accept this and move on folks...Unless you want your blood pressure to spike...these elected caste of schmups do not deserve your frustrations...
