Wow...thank the gods for Donald. A few months ago this looked to be an impossibility.

Let's see if the house follows suit.
I wonder how many people fear the words "house speaker nancy pelosi"
I would not count those seats just yet, Hillary may win but the Senate is no guarantee, many not vote for Trump or Hillary but that does not mean they are not voting. We Shall see soon enough.

The senate is what I'll be paying more attention to election night.
Even if the D take it, the count will only be 51-49 or 50-50 with Kaine breaking the tie.
I am sure filibuster reform is on the agenda
It all comes down to numbers.
Majority gets you the comittees, which means you determine what hits the floor. But, the Senate can always be shut down by 40% of the players in procedural BS or filibuster.

Such poll results can be wrong. depends so much on voter turnout. Especially if much of the left chooses not to vote, because of Hillary's corruption.
Maybe so. I assume some will vote for Trump just for the fear of another Clinton White house. Really too hard to speculate with any accuracy, but voter turnout is a major factor.So much projection... moderate Republicans are going to take a pass on Trump.
"Our model thinks Donald Trump has probably narrowed his deficit against Clinton slightly, but the difference is modest...we’re reluctant to proclaim any turnaround in the race while we still have to squint to see a shift.
A 16 percent chance of a Trump presidency isn’t nothing — as we’ve pointed out before, it’s about the same as the chances of losing a “game” of Russian roulette."
