Never should have put him there. I hope to God that Clinton learns this lesson and doesn't follow Obama's mistaken attempts at "bi-partisanship".

all the polls and it was going to be close for Hillary to take the Senate. She can gain some but not enough to take the Senate. Do you ever look at the polls? Please try to have a little more courtesy. I WANT HILLARY TO WIN AND I WISH SHE COULD TAKE THE SENATE. Thank you.

about Trump losing the House but it also applies to the Senate but they have not been so vocal as Ryan. They have been worried about the Supreme Court and so have they. Ryan was the most vocal because Trump was getting close to losing several seats in the House. The Senate is my concern.

He has shown himself to be more partisan and a weaker leader than most people thought, it seems to me.
