Prediction 11/8/2016 at 7:12 pm.
Probably shouldn’t make a prediction -but here goes:
There are 46 Democrat senators in the strong and likely categories.
There are 46 Republican senators in the strong and likely categories.
So, we have exactly 8 senators in the tossup categories of which I feel pretty good about 3 will win as Rep and 3 will win as Dem. Democrats will win Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada and Republicans win in Florida, North Carolina and Missouri. Rubio is real strong in Florida. So, that put’s the tally at 49/49.
But, Indiana and New Hampshire are tough to predict. .But, I think Indiana goes Republican and NH goes Democrat, with a 50/50 split. So, if Hillary wins, then the Senate might be Democratic controlled.
If Indiana and New Hampshire goes Republican, then the Republicans will retain control of the Senate. The experts “lean” towards a Democratic controlled senate, but I think it will be either 51 Dem to 49 Rep or 50/50. Boy this is hard to predict!
