If the senate is 50-50, is there a change of someone going to the Repukes, (assuming HRC win)? [View all]

If so, who? If the Dems fall short by one or two seats, are there any Repukes who could change parties? If the Dems have 51-52 majority, is there chance of the Repukes getting a couple to change sides?
