Reasons to Defeat Republican Senators

The first and most obvious is that with Congress on her side, a president Hillary Clinton could get more done.


Then there are these:

Senator John McCain (Republican, Arizona) promises that if Hillary is elected, but the Republicans hold onto the Senate, they will still block any Supreme Court nominations.

And then he changes his mind:

Senator Richard Burr (Republican, North Carolina) is Intelligence Committee Chairman and confused about recent Russian hacking

If you are a Bernie Sanders fan, consider this:

Maybe Dems should try to win the Congress specifically to help Bernie.

UPDATE:

Another Rubio-like (supposedly moderate and rational) Republican who is in a close race this year is New Hampshire's Kelly Ayotte. She claims to be someone the Dems look to to make deals. The trouble is that she put Mitch McConnell in as Majority Leader and he kills all progress. Ms. Ayotte may seem reasonable, but that one vote on her part makes her Just Another Republican, a roadblock to progress.

UPDATE:

In California a Democratic candidate has earned President Obama's endorsement. His opponent is another typical Republican who is simply odious.

"Not only has Steve Knight called Social Security absolutely "a bad idea," he's a forced-birther who makes no exceptions for the life of a mother, rape, or incest."
