What killed the Democrats from 2017-2021 is that Trump had Republican Senate the whole time and could get most of his nominees (executive and judicial) through, and McConnell was pretty much compelled to go along if he wanted to get reelected in 2020 (which he did and then he gave Trump the shaft).

Not a single Republican seat will flip this year. They're all in safe states. Scott (FL), Hawley, Wicker, Cramer, Fischer, Ricketts, Blackburn, Cruz and Barrasso will be reelected. And Braun and Romney will be replaced by Republicans.

Add those not up for reelection, that's 49 Republicans.

Manchin retired, so WV will go Republican, so that's 50.

So we have a running start to a majority.

Seats in Ohio and Montana will likely flip, that's 52.

Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Nevada are also possibilities.

I'm predicting a 53 or 54 seat majority.

Companion article, about 10 seats most likely to flip. They’re dreaming about Cruz and Scott.

Otherwise, 8 Democrats could lose their seats.

Nevada is East California. All the refugees from LA go to LV and from SF they go to Reno.

And then vote exactly the way they did in California. They never learn.

Laxalt actually won, Rosen had the election stolen for her, but that’s the end of it. The American moment is over in Nevada. Will be nuthin but sleazeoid Rats from now on.

Are Deep State’s minions getting cold feet?

Could this be why Bubba has been thrown under the bus?

Is Deep State threatening anyone who thinks to cross them?

Jan 6th should have been a real insurrection. Sorry, that’s my only conclusion.

"The Senate Is Turning More MAGA"

I'll believe it when I see it. Just getting someone with an R behind their name elected to the Senate doesn't mean diddly squat, and hasn't for a very long time. Until McConnell is gone, the Senate is useless.
