So who will control the Senate and the House

[Cyrano]

Given that Trump is the GOP nominee, lots of Republans will sit out this election.

And that means we can win back the Senate.

The House is a different story. Their numbers are really big and there's little chance we can overtake them.

But the reality it that we'll probably have a President Clinton and a Democratic Senate.

But without the House of Representatives, we have nothing. The next four years will be exactly like the past eight years. Deadlock.

Nothing, --- NOTHING will change until we own the Presidency, the House, and the Senate. Only then can real change in this ugly, ugly era that has taken place.

Then again, do we really trust a government with a single party in charge? Just asking.

1. Many endangered conservative in the House as trump is a huge anchor ..

He is not a conservative...he is not a devout Christian..He is a pariah .....IF we vote...GOP loses

2. Most of the Republicans you think will sit out, wont.

Most who vow not to support the asshole, will.

So please dont assume anything on that front.

You are absolutely correct on the rest.

The teaparty are unintelligent, immature, uneducated people who allow their emotions to control their behavour and decision making.

4. I've gotta' agree with you, Actor

Many screaming thy won't support Trump, will show up at the polls.

5. Their hatred of Hillary is not unlike many that I see here on this board.

It is true that Hillary (mostly not her fault, some of it is, but not most of it), has high negatives.

Personally I dont care for her much because I am a very far left, socialist type liberal, but I will of course vote for her if I have to.

10. Absolutely right on the money. Rachel had an entire segment on her

show last night showing that the supposed 'discontent with Trump' among Rethug voters is minimal. Most intend to vote for him with zero problems.

3. Republicans.

They won't stay home in Nov. Even if they leave presidential ballot blank, they'll still turn out and vote down-ticket.

[Cyrano]

6. Maybe. Hope you're wrong,

but given who they are, who knows?

7. That all depends. If Hillary wins I think we take back the senate

If trump wins, I have no idea what happens.

8. The House is out of reach as a result of ridiculous gerrymandering.

The Senate is a different story. There are 24 Republican Senators up for re-election vs. 10 Democrats. Under normal circumstances, taking back the Senate would be likely. But these are not normal circumstances. The Koch network alone has budgeted $889 for this cycle.

In my state of Ohio, the Koch network has been attacking the Democrat challenger Ted Strickland since early April. You can't turn the television on without coming across their ads. Strickland does not have the money to fight back this early in the cycle. The Koch network is spending big on their 10 most vulnerable Senate seats. As a result, I think we only have a 50/50 chance of retaking the Senate now.

9. The House

is too gerrymandered by Republican state legislatures to shift ideologically until there is a greater political impact of the demographic shifts in this country. The Senate is a different story.
