My prediction is Hillary wins the election and the GOP holds on to both chambers of the house.

[JRLeft]

2 years of gridlock.

[Fresh_Start]

1. Or Sanders wins the election and the GOP holds on to both chambers of the house

and 2 years of gridlock

[rock]

2. My prediction is just the opposite

Hillary wins the election and the GOP loses both the house and the senate (That Hillary wins the election is a given in my book).

[JRLeft]

4. Democrats aren't picking up that many house seats, best chance is the Senate.

[rock]

5. I'm feeling lucky!

If Bernie can feel lucky, so can I!

[JRLeft]

8. So the Democrats are going to pick 60 plus seats? GTFOH! LMFAO!

[rock]

12. News to me

Where did you hear about it?

[JRLeft]

14. They have to win an obscene amount of seats they aren't likely to win back the house.

[QC]

3. There are plenty of issues on which Clinton and the GOP can find common ground.

Fracking, wars, bank bailouts, lots of stuff.

You're being far too pessimistic here.

[DookDook]

13. But that will only be because they comprimised to make sure that

we only frack in 'safe' ways. You know, um, safe ways, like away from where I get my water.

And the wars will all be for Freedom! or Liberty! Never mind that you never know when you win a war that's fought for abstract concepts, we'll bomb them into loving us!

And those banks will need those bailouts after they lent their money to those poor people who then used it to buy things like food and clothing. Stupid poors, why didn't they just be born rich? Or pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Or be less lazy?

And those manufacturing jobs aren't going to outsource themselves, so she'll be sure to work hand in glove to help those Corporations can get those sweet trade deals that will allow them to move their wealth to offshore accounts and their manufacturing to places in the world that don't have all those pesky regulations about things like worker safety and whatnot.

[QC]

18. That's right--how could I forget de-employing the middle class.

What a terrible oversight on my part. She and the GOP both support "free trade" and indentured servant tech workers.

[bunnies]

22. Ah yes. That wonderful warm, purple space Hillary promises to create.

Sounds just lovely, no?

[emulatorloo]

6. McConnell and Ryan seem to believe Trump will cost them the GOP majority in congress.

Look at all their statements. That's the underlying message

[brooklynite]

7. Highly likely that the Democrats take the Senate...

Feingold
Duckworth
Strickland
Hassan
McGinty or Murphy or Ross or Kirkpatrick

[JRLeft]

9. I can see the Senate, but not the house. I think the party can make gains though.

[Peacetrain]

10. I think we might have a chance with the senale..

pretty good in fact.. but the house.. you are right.. 2010 election has that baby locked up unless Trump so demoralizes his base.. and that is always a possibility ..

[lumberjack_jeff]

11. I agree except not so much gridlock. She'll sign nearly everything they pass. n/t

[Robbins]

15. If clinton manages to win in november

it will be disaster for dems in 2018.assuring republicans control redistricting after 2020 ensuring gop control of house till at least 2032.plus clinton will sign many of gop bills even if they launch investigations of her after her inaugration.

[Dawgs]

16. My prediction is that Hillary will lose. Not sure about the Senate. n/t

[larkrake]

17. disaster, but that gridlock would probably happen with Bernie too

we must get the senate and raise our numbers in the House this year

[Sheepshank]

19. It has been predicted here on DU for several years that gerrymandered districts

Will be problematic until 2024.

You are not announcing anything new, and the earlier predictions were made without the weak argument that this is all about Hillary. Casting blame in this regard is pathetic. What we are more recently hearing is that with the advent of Trumps "R" nomination, Dems are likely to win back several seats.

[morningfog]

20. More like two years of impeachment hearings.

[MillennialDem]

21. I don't see that being possible. Johnson (R-WI) and Kirk (R-IL) are toast in the Senate.

[Skwmom]

23. Uh, NO. She would reach across the aisle to the corporatist Republicans and sell the working class

down the river, and the corporate whores will sell it to the American public as bipartisanship.
