2016, many of us are leery of predicting sure things.

they just did not include Russia and Comey in the calculations

I'm sure this prediction doesn't include Russia either. And any other BIG repuke shenanigans

9. If GOP keeps the Senate, repubs are responsible for not passing good legislation to fix things.

14. and the Senate is going to be difficult to pick up

There will only be one vulnerable Democratic held seat (Alabama, but that's very vulnerable). We need to pick up 4 seats to take control, but that would require a clean sweep of vulnerable Republican held seats in Colorado, Arizona, Iowa, Maine. If the Democrats run the table and pick up all of those, but lose Alabama, the Senate is tied 50-50.

That seems like a best case scenario, and to then have a Democratic VP as the tie breaker. Colorado seems to be a likely pick up, but it's going to be a challenge to carry Arizona, Iowa & Maine. Susan Collins & Joni Ernst will be tough to knock off.

10. Concerned about what Michael Cohen's testimony.
