A majority of the GOP Senate candidates are vulnerable. Only a couple of Dems are. And there are so many more GOP candidates in the 2016 class.

The White House is safe no matter who the nominee is. Vermin fucking Supreme could win the nomination and we'd still win the White House (OK, that's a big hyperbolic, but still).
