    Dems should focus on the house... They stand a great chance and wasting time on senate races is a fools errand at this point...

    It is nearly impossible to take the Senate for Democrats, but that is only nearly. It could happen.

    LOL @ all the "independent"s. I don't blame y'all for the self-label but it's a bit like wearing a groucho marx disguise. We still a-seein you in there.

    LOL... one reason that polling isn't as accurate in the past. trump has made lying acceptable (even fashionable) among republicans. Even here, where anonymous people are known by pseudonyms like commodore and tallanvor... people are uncomfortable admitting they support him.

    9 Senate races which are tossups: IN, FL, TN, WV, TX, MO, MT, AZ and NV.

    The Democrats will need to go 8-1 to win control of the Senate.

    I assume @bigtexxx is actually a Conservative like me. I have never been a registered Republican and have even rarely voted for some Democrats in my life who I thought were the better candidate. I identified as a Republican in the poll only because that is the way most on here see me.

    lol I was burning some time watching CNN and I can tell why the other side may not like them .

    The one guy operating the board is trying to be tempered and unbiased and wolf blitzer keeps interjecting about how things are looking good for Dems .

    Yeah, as Mike Breen would say, "BANG!" that's game right there barring something super unlikely happening.

    Never expected them to win the senate though.
