Rush is saying Dems know they can't beat Trump and are eyeing the Senate.

He said they are looking for enough Jeff Flake types to piss off their constituents and then take the Senate.

Good luck with that. They’re not taking the Senate.

Does a full vote have to be taken once there are 34 NO's?

You know, one of the Auburn posters on here told me this last week. I have been pondering it since.

In which case it would be advantageous to give a couple leeway to do what they need to do, if it comes to that. But of course not before having the exact vote count down pat and solid. Couple, or three if necessary.

Makes complete sense...they are targeting Collins, Murkowski, Gardner and McSally.

They flip those four and maintain the rest it’s 51-49 in the Senate plus RINO Romney. It’s the only chance they have.

They have a better chance of taking the senate than defeating Trump.

If they do, and I believe they will hold the House, then 2021 is going to be insanity running wild.

Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi) -- Hyde-Smith was appointed by Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant to fill the seat vacated by Sen. Thad Cochran who resigned due to health issues. She competed in the 2018 special election to fill the term. CNN projects the race will go to a runoff. Hyde-Smith will compete against Democratic challenger Mike Espy since no candidate received 50% of the vote total. The contest will take place on Tuesday, November 27. A full six-year term election will be held in 2020.

James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma)

Jon Kyl (R-Arizona) -- It is expected that there will be an open special election in 2020 for the seat because Kyl has said he will not run in 2020. A full six-year term election will take place in 2022.

Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky)
David Perdue (R-GA)
Jim Risch (R-Idaho)
Pat Roberts (R-Kansas)
Mike Rounds (R-South Dakota)
Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska)
Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska)
Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina)

Democrats up for election:

Cory Booker (D-New Jersey)
Chris Coons (D-Delaware)
Dick Durbin (D-Illinois)
Doug Jones (D-Alabama)
Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts)
Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon)
Gary Peters (D-Michigan)
Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island)
Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)

Tina Smith (D-Minnesota) -- Smith was appointed by Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton to fill the vacancy created after Sen. Al Franken decided to resign. She faced a special election in 2018 and CNN projected that Smith defeated her Republican challenger in that race. A full six-year term election will be held for the seat in 2020.

Tom Udall (D-New Mexico)
Mark Warner (D-Virginia)

Agree, and if it's the Dems that hold but get the margin slashed like that, it should wake all the others up to their Congressional mortality. They'd be a touch more inclined to play some ball at least.

we lose no more than 3 seats, all the way down to zero

one or 2 is likely

we will pick up Alabama for sure, so the worst I can see is us still holding a slim Senate majority

the House? May be an uphill battle, but we could certainly take it back, we will narrow the gap at a minimum

I am paranoid too.

Voter fraud is a valid concern. You libs are lunatics and have no qualms cheating, even murdering to acquire and maintain power.
