We need to focus on the House.
No mention of Indiana?
At least even money we flip that one.
Thank GOD Cruz started hitting back against robert francis.
I REALLY hope Cruz brings his A game to the debate (he brought his B game to the last one). He needs a knockout blow.
Also I with the Texas GOP would start publicizing robert francis’ drunk driving/fleeing the scene.
bob can be as contrite as he wants — he did it and as we all know now (courtesy of how the dems treated Justice Kavanaugh) ANY youthful indiscretion is a millstone around your neck FOREVER.
Time for dems to pay a price for their attempted lynching of Justice Kavanaugh. Let robert francis be the first of many.
“We need to focus on the House.”

Merciful Maude. Fido969, I agree with you. Even if we keep the Senate, if the Democrats get the House nothing can even get started. Except they’ll go nuts trying to dismantle what Pres Trump and the folks have forced Congress to pass.
It's the US Senate that will be easier to keep. In OH, Renacci isn't getting any help from establishment 'pubs, and he's running a lousy campaign. I fear ceding that seat to Sherrod Brown could hurt them in the HOR races.
The RNC has to get off its butt and be more enthusiastic about vigorously backing Trump supporters. In OH, I suspect Kasick and his cronies would rather lose elections than cede power to Deplorables.
“New” hope?
It was expected all along that we would gain in the Senate. Simply because the Dems had so many more seats at stake.
The media interrupted briefly with a Fake News narrative of Dems’ doing impossibly well.
We will lose one when Mitt takes his Senate seat. He will be another McCain.
In Texas, Beto (D) has a new commercial that kisses up to everybody. Such a despicable liar but people will fall for it.
I believe that we have a real chance of winning +5 seats in the Senate, we have our foot on their neck and we need to finish them off. As for the House, I am predicting -12 to -15 seats. We can cut those losses in half if we take advantage of the Kavanaugh gift that we got from the Democrats.
Remember, the Dems won +6 House seats in 2016. Posting a gain in two elections in a row is very rare, even more rare than a wave election. There will be no Blue Wave this year, but the Democrats can certainly have a net gain in the House.
Cruz isn’t in any trouble, he wins easily.
Make everyone happy. Make Collins inconsequential.
Yes, that is why we need more Trump senators, we can’t trust Romney.
No they won’t. Cruz is going to cruse Beto.
I agree.
I have a hard time seeing how the Rats gain much in the House!
Are there really that many competitive Congressional districts? What do the Rats run on as an issue? They think they are too many people employed? The country needs more unemployment? More illegal immigration? More gun control? Vote for me we will give you more anti-Kavanaugh behavior? Or is it just vote for me because “Trump is a poopyhead!”?
I know there are some uninspiring GOP congressional candidates out there, but do the Rats have better ones?
I have a hard time thinking how they will gain any seats let alone take the House!
He may actually surprise us and be no worse than Orrin "Chicken" Hatch.
There are 70 competitive House districts (less than 3 points separating). There are a total of 39 seats out of 435 where Republicans don’t have a candidate. Dems have no candidate in only 6 districts out of 435. Over 40 incumbent Republicans resigned or declined to run. House will be tough.
