Nightmare Senate Scenario for Dems

[KCDem]

Seems very plausible actually

How did I know you would say that

That's not really the nightmare scenario because Hillary would be president during the GOP supermajority.  The real Dem nightmare looks something like this:

Current: 54R/46D

2016:
-Republican wins by 4-5%, carries every Bush/Obama state but NM, also carries WI and PA
-Dems pick up IL, GOP picks up NV and CO

After 2016: 55R/45D

2018:
-Republican president has ~50/50 approval
-Dems pick up NV, GOP picks up WV, IN, and MO

After 2018: 57R/43D

2020:
-Republican president wins reelection by 7-10%, carries every state Obama got <56% in
-GOP picks up VA, MN, NH, NM (with Martinez), Dems pick up ME when Collins retires

After 2020: 60R/40D and 6+ years of GOP-controlled federal government

Never going to happen.

Concern trolls gonna concern troll I see

Frighteningly plausible. Hell, Toomey and Johnson could pull it out.

I'd like to see what a Johnson/Hillary Clinton voter looks like.

Maybe similar to a Gore/Santorum voter in 2000?

Santorum was a populist and friendly with the unions.
Johnson is a hardcore tea-partier that has nothing to show during his first 4 years as a senator other that partisan attacks and gridlock.

He was friendly with some unions and not an overall populist at all. Rick says stuff about blue collar workers and is vocally socially conservative and the political nerd class goes into analytical overload by labeling him an economic leftist/BIG GUV REPUB!!! Yeah, he opposed NAFTA but look how he voted on other free trade agreements. Look at how the guy took on the mission of pushing Bush's partial privatization of Social Security (as a Sentor representing Pennsylvania).

Ok bro, we get it. No need to get too excited down below at the prospect of screwing those of us who work for a living.
