Keeping the Senate red is certainly a possibility, but it will be a different Senate with a Democratic President and VP. If McConnell loses his Senate leadership, there could be substantial change in the way the GOP votes.

Base on current polls that i seen, i am not seeing McConnell losing his reelection. Also base on how Republicans acted during Obama, i am not seeing them giving democrats any votes.

They will not, but the legislative filibuster will be ended if necessary.

RCP has it 51-49 Dems. But they only need 50-50 if Biden wins.

I'm expecting the Senate will become about 57-43, in favor of the Democrats. Also they will probably gain about 20 more seats in the House. Instead of what the right-wingers want for the Supreme Court, there'll be a 6-3 liberal majority within two years. And there will never be any going back, after that happens. Our country may survive after all, despite what all the Trump supporters have been doing to establish a totalitarian dictatorship.

"Survive"? Your party has a history of fing up Detroit, Baltimore, S Chicago, now its Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, SF, LA. The Democrat End game is to have little CHAD'S through out the country. Democrats win, we lose

How do you figure US Supreme court becoming 6-3? Let see conservation age are



John Robert 65



Clarence Thomas 72



Samuel Alito 70



Neil Gorsuch 53



Brett Kavanaugh 55


Even the oldest justice Thomas will stay on the court for another 4-8 years. So i do not understand where you're getting 6-3 from at all

He can still do Executive Order and reverse all of Trump's reversals!

Exactly. No damage done. Unlike if this country stupidly reelects Trump.

The Democrats are clueless about how to control spending and lower taxes.
