The wild RNC predictions that they will hold 58 seats in the senate this election cycle was all hype. It's down to 54 seats MAX for the Pubs & one can safely bet that if the Pubs do get 54 seats, one or two of those seats will be filled with RINOS. The DNC/RNC prefers to keep the senate & House of Reps as close to 50/50 so they can control the sitting POTUS. There is no chance in my opinion of the Pubs taking the senate seats in Nevada nor Arizona. The Pubs COULD POSSIBLY land the senate seat in New Mexico & I say that just because of the heavy Latino/Catholic density in that state. So I see it for the Pubs a ball park figure somewhere between 50-54 with a realistic seat count for the Pubs of 52 seats with a sprinkling of RINOS mixed into the mix. I sure hope the house of Reps goes more Red than the senate looks to be going @ current.
