Democrats

Well, I mean, she struggled against Bernie who was beating Trump by roughly 10 points throughout the campaign cycle. Obviously, math and commonsense are not the strong suits of the Democratic Party.
Kasich and Rubio were beating Hillary in a landslide. Heck Kasich was beating Hillary in Blue Connecticut! But the GOP went with the guy who polled worst against Hillary.

The voters did, not the GOP. By your same logic the DNC went with a candidate that does far worse against trump.

Being willingly naive about terrorism will cost him votes. He could still hold his position of opposing government searches, but he can't come off as naive that such a possibility could exist.
If he comes off as naive or comes off as a dingbat then he's done. But that's the whole point of having the debate, I think. If Johnson cannot display the stuff Americans are looking for and get his polling numbers up to around 35% I would be just as happy if he dropped out.

You're logic is somewhere else. There's no point in nominating a Republican who thinks, lives and believes in the same ideology as Hillary does. This most applies to Kasich, Mr. open borders.
There's no point in having an election if both people running are virtually politically the same. Although I have to admit, if Kasich were the nominee, I'd vote for him over Hillary. Hell, I'd vote for my neighbors cocker spaniel over Hillary.

At the down ballot races, the Senate looks like it will flip to the Dems now, but how many seats is still up in the air. It looks like 6 is a good number, but it may be even higher as Indiana, Iowa, and Arizona are in play now and will force the GOP to spend money on races they thought were in the bag.
I don't think so. The latest news I read yesterday said Republicans are on track to winning the senate. Republicans for senate reelection are winning in their states.
North Carolina up by 5.6
Ohio up by 4.7
New Hampshire up by 8.3
Penn up by 5.6
Even Rubio who many said could not win his seat back in Florida is up by 7.7

Can you name a state where a sitting Rep Senator is down against his opponent?

The latest average of polls updated 18 hours ago by polltracker has the average polling data now showing Trump ahead of Hillary by .9%.
Florida currently has Clinton up by only 1.4% updated 48 minutes ago.

Yes, Wisconsin. Kirk doesn't seem likely to win in Illinois either considering the state and election year demographics. Nobody said Rubio couldn't win either. He wasn't actually supposed to run which put Florida in play. NH and FL are likely dependent on who ends up carrying the state.
