2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIf the senate is 50-50, is there a change of someone going to the Repukes, (assuming HRC win)?
If so, who? If the Dems fall short by one or two seats, are there any Repukes who could change parties? If the Dems have 51-52 majority, is there chance of the Repukes getting a couple to change sides?

Side note: I want to see Ayotte in NH lose so bad. She talks like a moderate but is a far right snake. She will vote with the dems when her vote does not matter and when the GOP gives permission.
