Or at least MOST LIKELY KEEP THE SENATE.
The odds of re-taking the Senate were ALWAYS very slim because we have SO many more seats to defend.
Kavanaugh ALWAYS had the votes. Period! This was NO surprise.
We can take the US House and state and local level seats ALL OVER THE MAP next month.
So enough of ANY dooming and glooming. We have GREAT opportunities.
The GOP "Kavanaugh Bounce" is just that. A short bounce. The ball comes back down. And our side ALSO has an ANGER bounce over Kavanaugh that will resonate especially in the US House races, and state and local races.
So, go knock doors, make calls, put up signs, talk to folks, and vote vote vote.
SMASH the GOP!

(42,278 posts)2018 Senate shouldn't even be in play at all for us. The fact that there's even a slight chance is remarkable.

(1,580 posts)But just sit back and think for a moment just how tremendously awful the Republican party has been. And yet they will still keep the Senate.
Think how few people in the country Republicans need to control the Senate.
They have tremendous power.
