Republicans must defend seats in six states won twice by Obama



If Senator Chuck Schumer is going to fulfill his dream of running the U.S. Senate, he will likely have to rely on the performance of sometime-rival, sometime-friend and fellow New Yorker Hillary Clinton.

The Democrats’ leader-in-waiting needs to pick up five seats to win outright control of the Senate from the Republicans. He’s got a national map teed up for a takeover if the party’s presidential nominee can inspire a Barack Obama-level performance, whether it’s Clinton or Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders. Schumer could also benefit from a Republican Party at war with itself.

All of that is making Democrats increasingly optimistic about their chances of taking the Senate, particularly if Republicans nominate Donald Trump or Texas Senator Ted Cruz.............................
Five of the Republican seats that Democrats are targeting are presidential battleground states that were won twice by Obama -- New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio. Strong enthusiasm for the Republican or Democratic nominee in any of those states could serve as much-needed coattails for Senate contenders.



New Hampshire is a particular bellwether state to watch early on election night to gauge the Democrats’ chances. Incumbent Republican Kelly Ayotte is facing Governor Maggie Hassan, Democrats’ prize recruit. Both candidates are raising millions and will have no shortage of outside support...................

5. If we would get a majority Senate...

I hope everyone remembers Dick Durbin is better than back-stabbing warmongering Schumer.

I hope Hillary remembers.

7. Of course...

they certainly aren't riding anywhere on the Sander's Socialist, Democrat hating shirttails. Why do you think everyone is endorsing her. She is the only hope for the Party.
