If things more or less stay the same with the left wing carrying on the way they are through Nov, is there any chance that the GOP is able to hold on to the Senate?

I would say yes, but with Mittens likely flip to Democrat if it’s 50-50 I would say no

I disagree. The US and UK often reflect each other in elections and the conservatives romped and stomped in their election across the pond. Look at Brexit and then we see Trump elected, for example. The polls are shite and they admit they have trouble reaching non college educated white folks who often work out of town(aka white construction workers who love Trump). Then we see Trump doing better with minorities. But the main thing is the enthusiasm gap. I have still yet to speak with anybody who is excited to vote for Biden, but countless who are to vote for Trump. Record turnout even though he is running unopposed(more or less), and Trump has a definite edge in enthusiasm. Furthermore, the polls that actually got it right in 2016 are not only pointing to a Trump victory but a landslide like we haven't seen since 1984.Forget the silly media and their biased polls. With Trump on the ticket, the reps will gain in the Senate, the real question is if they can take the house.

I can see Maine and Colorado flipping, but if the line is held elsewhere, and Tuberville takes AL and NH flips GOP, it should be okay.

If Pierre wants to run for Prez again, or even get another 6 from Utah, he ain't switching nothing.

I think they hold on. Democrats have done themselves no favors the last 4 years.

Oh my God. You've both been drinking the Kool-Aid. The MSM loves you, baby. Keep up their good work.

As much as I am terrified by a Dem takeover of the Senate, and a subsequent legalization of over 22 million illegals, I am also mortified by the prospect of Mitch McConnell remaining Majority Leader. Why in the world do Republicans have this walking corpse, this whore for big corporations as their Senate leader. And I seriously doubt McConnell wants Trump to win. He and Paul Ryan never missed a chance to sabotage Trump.

You know, I agree with McConnell being a swamp rat and would like to replace him. But to be fair, without his actions we would have a liberal dominated SCOTUS plus Roberts.

Califonia should actually lose two seats if we are being 100% honest. We all know their numbers are inflated.

If trump wins republicans retain the senate and will flip the house. If not, lights out. Democratic control of the house and senate. The filibuster is gone, and Armageddon is finally here. God help us all.

No, MT, NC, AZ, ME and CO are flipping to the Dems. The Dems will pick up 10 to 15 house seats. If Trump wins his veto will be very important. The downside is no conservative judges and lots of vacancies in the Executive Branch.

Recent poll said 62% wouldn’t admit who they’re voting for if called and high % of them were republicans

That’s tells you how unreliable polls are and why Biden shows well in polls

Trump in landslide

While I don’t see it if this happens they would immediately move to impeach and remove Trump (assuming he won) And that’s when the real fireworks would begin

A chance? I'd make it a slim likelihood.

But why?

Let these hard working, mainly conservative people, have some type of path to citizenship. They, and their children, will be Republicans for life.

I don't toe the freakin' line on this. Never have. Never will.

This was a valid viewpoint a decade ago but now we have the Soros and Obama orgs scouring Central American ghettos for the most useless, parisitic losers they can find and coaching on how to get here, ask for amnesty and get their entire extended families here to live on the doll.

Republican held US Senate seats I see Repubs losing.

Maine
Colorado
Arizona...these three for sure.

Good chance for Dems to take the seats in NCarolina and Montana.

Decent shot at Dems taking seats in Kansas (if Kobach is the Repub nominee) and in Georgia (Jon Ossoff).

Doug Jones will lose the alabama seat narrowly.

I think Dems will gain the Senate on Jan 4 with a 52-48 majority.
