Don't have to get all of them replaced by GOP. DEMs only have a 3 or 4 seat majority so if the GOP can flip 5 of the 15 retiring seats then the GOP takes back the house. Only 5 GOP members are retiring and they are all in heavy GOP areas so they can afford to lose 1 of the 5 and still take control by flipping 5 DEM seats. All they need to flip in the senate is 1 seat. GOP should easily take both houses of congress but this will not be the first time they manage to screw it all up.


You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
