1. I think more likely the status quo will be maintained

with control of the Senate and no chance of gaining the House.

We will probably lose ground in the Senate, and gain a few seats in the House.

The Dem leadership would have a re-run of 2006, but they have embraced Wall Street as their savior and turned their back on Main Street.

2016 means HRC as president and she will have enough coattails to retake the House and hold the Senate, but like Obama, she will squander that gain to appease her masters on Wall Street.

Pretty much we lose either way, it is just a matter of how fast.
