I fear the Senate is lost... GOTV!! We must stop this madness.. if not we could be looking a t a Republican one-party state for awhile.. I know we have a possibly strong candidate in Hillary for Pres.. but nothing is ever gauranteed.. what scares meonce they have full control .. they will gerrymader the Presidency , and the Senate too.. we will be fucked..

of losing 8 seats now with polls turning against iowa and Co.If that happens GOP will control congress indefentle

Even if hillary wins In 2016 the senate won't flip because at best there are 6 seats democrats could flip.considering how 2010 went and how 2014 may go Democrats are in danger of losing seats In Mt,ND,Mo,Indiana,and WV

And remembering bill Clinton she could sign some of bills right wing congress passes.

If dems lose 8 seats The idiots voting may have guranteed a long term republican congress,and will assure a move to the right In COngress and white house.

And there Is plenty of conseques of republican house and senate.

Reid and Bennet will have competitive elections in 2016 though.

Democrats can pick up Wisconsin, Illinois, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. Democrats need to run against the old kook, his approval is at 33%.

was that In midterm election of 2018 those 5 seats are going to be endanged since now in every midterm Inless democrats quickly solve all problems people will vote republicans.And those 5 are from red states.

Manchin won special election In 2010 and was elected to full term In 2012.He's up In 2018.

Mo,Indiana,MT,and ND are red states where democrats have to run In 2018.

Bennet and Reid are both helped In 2016 by running In presidential year.

If hillary Is elected In 2016 Republicans will treat her soon enough like Obama only she won't have a democratic house or senate if dems loose 8 seats In 2014.

Obviously they didn't know what they were talking about. The tea party emerged and destroyed our government. The pundits are so convinced the rethugs are going to win but I feel like there is an undercurrent that could knock out the rethugs in November they're not expecting. The rethugs have pissed off women, poor people, minorities, gays and low wage workers. Those people are not being polled. Do you think that low wage McDonald worker who protested and walked out this is being polled? Or all those angry minorities being harassed by the police? The rethugs channel attacks these groups all the time, yeah we'll see.
