However even with that, the Ds have enough races they are leading in to win control.

Doubtful, With Montana gone, The idiot in NC has shot himself in the foot, we will win back Alabama so that makes it EVEN HARDER for the democrats.

The Ds can still win control without NC or AL.

Arizona is going to Kelly for sure sally was horrible in the last debate, Colorado is going to the Dems, Colins is pretty much toast.

If the Dems can flip, NC, Iowa, Georgia, or SC they will control the Senate narrowly but will control it. I think they will pick up some unexcepted seats SC is in play with loser Lindsey groveling for cash.

What do you think the biggest upsets will be.
It's possible that Lindsey Graham will go down. That would be big.

In today’s incredibly polarized climate, it’s not good for the country if one party controls the Senate, House, and the White House simultaneously.

I guarantee you that if Democrats complete a full takeover in November, there will be a major increase of violence.

I think what’s best for the country is that Biden wins, but the Republicans maintain control of the Senate.

This would help everyone on the left who has TDS, but it would also appease the right because the Democrats would not be able to kill the Senate filibuster and pack the courts.

If Trump wins, the left will become even more unhinged and if the Republicans lose everything, the Alt right will become unhinged.

Better to continue to share power.

I think what’s best for the country is that the Republican Party gets crushed and rejected next month, and that they lose even MORE seats in the House and Senate two years later.

The Republican Party needs to be totally rejected by the American people for it's recent despicable behavior. The only way to save it is a complete house cleaning, and thorough fumigation. The cancerous rot has to be cut out of it.

It might need a new branding with a totally new name. The American people should never forget how the Republican party betrayed them.

The last time we had Obama as president and a Republican controlled Senate, we got sequestration, which was HORRIBLE for the military and we are still paying that price today trying to recover.

No, unfortunately, the current GOP is not about "balance" they are all about 100% total obstruction and annihilation. It wouldn't work at all and the country would have 4 years of gridlock.

Well in general, I agree that there should be those checks and balances, but that can't happen today. The GOP led Senate refused to provide the "check" on Donald Trump with the whole Ukraine issue. If that had been Obama in the impeachment trial, he would have been gone in 5 minutes.
