You now have 45??? The way Democrats are losing, it can fall to under 30 is how I see it.

You see it incorrectly.

The GOP's Senate map in 2016 isn't actually as bad as it looks. Plus, it largely depends on whether Hillary runs and, if she doesn't, who runs in her place (as well as who runs on the GOP side).

It's a complex issue that we really can't predict in 2014.

It's a complex issue that we really can't predict in 2014.I wasn't predicting per se. My point was that there seems to be an assumption out there that the Dems will easily take back the Senate in 2016, and my point is that when you look at it race-by-race, it will be harder than that.

That's fifteen seats or more, all in blue seats, in a Presidential election year that might be heavily favored for the Democrats.

In other words...highly, highly unlikely. At most, as things stand now (and as I said, anything can happen between now and then), they'll lose maybe two seats.

28 Senators Who Voted for Obamacare Are Gone

By Philip Klein, Washington Examiner - November 5, 2014

On Dec. 24, 2009, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed President Obama’s healthcare law with a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority, triggering a massive backlash that propelled Republicans to control of the House the following year. On the Senate side, going into Tuesday’s elections, 25 senators who voted for Obamacare were already out or not going be part of the new Senate being sworn in on January.

The American people are in the mood for some Obama Care house cleaning.

Then why didn't more than 38% of them vote on Nov. 4, and break even harder for Republicans?
