Republicans' chances of holding onto their Senate control are not looking so great. Not only do seats like Colorado and Arizona — both currently held by Republicans — appear to be all but lost for the GOP in 2020, but seats once considered safe are looking more like toss-ups. CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains how Republicans found themselves in this position.

Senate Republicans got some VERY bad news Monday
The 10 Senate seats most likely to flip, 3 weeks from Election Day
The Senate playing field is collapsing on Republicans

Hey, Chris here. Do you have a voting plan yet?
Vote out the swamp. Red all the way. Trump 2020.
@Rick Keller ikr!!!…. anybody read half that… lol I didnt make it very far and ssssccrrooooollllllll. Down to bottom lol
Hey Chris. I voted by mail. I my ballot on 10-6-2020, voted and mailed it back on the 7th. I received an email on the 10th letting me know that it was received timely and recorded. It also said that I shouldn’t go to my polling place on election day since I have already voted. Trump was telling his base to vote twice 😂. They can try it if they want to. I live in Philly and things are done by the book here. People please vote as soon as you can. If you are voting by mail return your ballots as soon as you can. It took 2 days for my ballot to reach it’s destination, but other city’s mail might move a little slower. Biden/Harris 2020🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️.
@Valerie Watkins Trump never told people to vote twice.
“If we nominate tRump, we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it.” Senator Lindsey Graham, May 2016
VOTE 🇺🇸 Biden/Harris 🇺🇸
@p w Investigated and cleared, no charges. Next
If you vote Biden you have not seen the emails proving he had millions from Russia and China …wow liberals don’t know too much do they lol Heres Hunter with his crack pipe https://qanon.pub/data/media/a5545be2dc55259812e5d4dee10756e0a6240485c99efd2a486285b6013702f5.jpg
@Cal Gal Investigated and cleared? Where? Let’s not forget this man was kicked out of the military for being a crackhead too.
There have been several….Barr just declined to bring charges. BTW Hunter isn’t running
Okay, Democrats are stupid.

They are collapsing because they have enabled Trump throughout his entire presidency that’s just unacceptable.
So Trump walking in on underages at his beauty pageant when they were changing because he was inspecting his pageant is perfectly acceptable?
@The last farewell yes blackmailing foreign diplomats with billions of dollars to fire lead prosecutor so they didn’t go after his son and his connections where he even bragged about it on stage… yeah that’s legit… They’re also appears to be a case of the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree with children involved on that hard drive, much like creepy Uncle Joe who has been seen countless times on camera sniffing little girl’s hair and talking about kids rubbing his legs. We’ll see how old mush brain does tonight with the usual softball questions… But you can bet that the average American is waking up, even though you’re still deeply asleep.
@ZeroMass Regarding videos of sniffing little girl’s hair, etc. This just shows how folks like you, whose minds are in the gutter, can portray the most innocent of scenes and turn them into porno fantasies. You and others who subscribe to this perverse interpretation are sicko. Regarding blackmailing, etc, you’ve presented ZeroProof which aligns appropriately with your nom de plume.
@The last farewell the left has covered all of the degeneracy and abuse on children from Netflix to Epstein and Clinton’s, to men dressing up and reading stories to little kids who turn out to be convicted pedophiles.. you can make up anything you want in your head buddy it doesn’t excuse nor change the facts
And zero proof? Don’t you worry your pretty little head you’ll see in a few days 🌞
@ZeroMass Zero proof, and shady characters (Giuliani, MacIsaac) with contradictory statements seem to be the hallmark of the desperation behind this amusing hit job. It’s like the Keystone Kops, Pink Panther, and the Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight all rolled into one last-minute Hail-Mary attempt at a reality TV reboot.
That is what they get for hitching their wagon to Trump and staying silent.
Trump! is anti-establishment.
Okay, Democrats are stupid.

@Mark G. Don’t you mean FAKE news and Big Tech tyranny? Why are you with the real Tyrants? The most powerful/richest in the world are Dems – Amazon, FB, Microsoft, Twitter, Google, Apple. They are steering your thoughts and slowly boxing you in. The #Walkaway movement is huge. Dem states are dying fast. California, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, Maryland, Utah, etc. Highest taxes in USA by far – until their is the rich and poor left. It’s sad and scary.
@Vuts Man Since when is Utah a “dem state” did you graduate from Trump University?
@CNN is a Super PAC for the Democrats 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣what a nutter comment

I’ll pull the switch straight down on Democrats side this time, even if a dog is running on it.
@Andre Desrosiers Well there wont be any will there. Just saying why would people want no need for a signature on ballots? Just start using Voter ID, like almost all other western countries.
@Devo In person voting is confirmed by I.D. against registered voter rolls, no signature required on the ballot. Mail in, absentee
and direct drop ballots are sent out to registered voters based on voter registration rolls and require the voters signature to confirm against signatures on file at the registrar’s office already. Illegal aliens in this country cannot vote because they are not allowed to register to vote because their not us citizens yet. No matter what the radical right says about our voting process is all lies. There is nothing wrong with our process until republicans interfere or lie about it. But thanks for the advice.
@Mark Warren Implying the democrats are socialist? In those standards you can say scandinavia is socialist too. Look at those countries and then look at USA… LEVELS.

Is biden gonna win the senate? that’s what he think’s he is running for.
@richie m This is the third time Biden has ran for president, and they think he’s going to win this time hahaha.
Did you know only 138,847,000 voted last election. That means 111,209,000 didn’t vote. You should vote.
@Patrick Wotten 100% Right! VOTE HIM OUT!
@Jesus Barrera What the hell is wrong with you, you are the racist it seems. What did that person say that was racist? Enlighten Us. get it right He is not a racist, just an IDIOT. LOL
