That would mean a 50-50 Senate without counting NH. Kaine would by tiebreaker.

But sadly I think Rubio goes back in unless The Cuban story blows up. Electoral-Vote.com has him up 5%

by the Repugs. The American People need to be told and told again that it is the Repug Party that has caused all the problems that we have in this country and that this November election is more than just stopping Trump.

This means the Dems - federal, state and local - need to speak up. There are also governorships that we need to take back as well when they come up for a vote.

The Hillary campaign needs to hit more at the Repugs as well. I'm hoping that Kaine in the VP Debate takes up these issues. If Hillary herself doesn't want to take on the Repugs - she needs to get her surrogates out there to do it for her.

Instead of Howard Dean talking about Cocaine - he needs to get out and talk about taking back the Senate and House.

If Hillary doesn't want to face gridlock like Obama - we need to get back control of more than just the White House.

Hi,

Winning the House will be difficult, but might be possible after years of Republican gridlock. Enough people might be ready for a change even with the Gerrymandering of the criminal Republicans.

The Senate is more likely to move to Democratic control, but moving one or the other is vital or nothing changes & all we have is more Republican gridlock.

The first order of business for a Republican house would be to Impeach President Hillary, & continue to ruin the country.
Move forward, vote for a Democratic House.
