BTRTN Senate/House Snapshot #6: Dems Squeak Ahead in Control of Senate, Now "Lead" 50/50

Donald Trump may be in free fall, but that does not mean down-ballot races are following suit. But it does not take much to tip the balance in the unbelievably close race to control the Senate, and the Dems have snuck ahead (assuming they only need 50 seats with a Clinton win):

BTRTN Presidential Snapshot #7: Clinton Strengthens Overwhelming Lead In a Wild, Sordid Week

At this point it may be wise to simply hold our noses, avert our eyes and cover our ears. This long, sad national nightmare of a campaign will be over in 22 days, and we can then excise Donald Trump from our minds and give words like "hideous," "appalling" and "bloviating" a well-earned rest. But it is going to be mighty ugly until then.

The numbers seem pretty clear, as evidenced by our latest BTRTN Snapshot:

An Idea for Hillary's First 100 Days: How To Best Use Bill to help the National Conversation

Over the last several years, our country has found itself having a national conversation about basic issues of equlaity -- such as income inequality (Occupy Wall Street, the Sanders campaign), and what it really means to be African American in this country, especially with respect to the law (Black Lives Matter), and now, what is the reality of being a woman and continually plagued with misogyny and worse, sexual assault. These dialogues are wrenching yet productive, and move the ball forward...but how far?

A friend of mine thinks there is a role for Bill Clinton on the second issue, the whole Black Lives Matter/law enforcement divide. Could Hillary not put Bill in charge of leading and organizing that dialogue, and ultimately recommending actionable outcomes? Sort of like Biden's cancer Moon Shot? Who better than Bill, 'America's First Black President" to listen, and explain, and prompt productive action?
