With Donald Trump’s presidential hopes showing all the uplift of a rock falling off a cliff, Democrats are suddenly sniffing a victory that could extend past the White House into the Republican-controlled Congress.

A Clinton campaign volunteer canvassing the Warren County neighborhood of $350,000-plus homes gave her a voter registration form.
The Republican Party appears to be finally be getting the message that funding Trump’s campaign is a waste of resources. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday and conducted from October 20 to October 24 found that 41 percent of Republicans now expect Clinton to win the election, versus 40 percent for Trump.
In West Virginia, historically a Democratic stronghold state, Republicans took control of the state’s House, Senate, and governor’s office in 2014 for the first time in 83 years. He claims that the media and the polling systems are “rigged” to work against Trump and to benefit Democrat Hillary Clinton. He went on to fire up supporters for 10 minutes without once mentioning Trump’s name.
Murphy said if Clinton wins the presidency but the GOP retains control of the Senate, they could hold up appointments, like they did with President Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, and “essentially try to stop her from populating her administration to make it feckless”.

The top races have accumulated huge price tags already, with millions more still to be spent in the final days of the race.
As Election Day draws closer, that assessment is even more true now. But federal disclosures show only a handful of spots in Houston and Dallas, where it would take millions of dollars to saturate airwaves. Democrats have spent a whopping $61 million there from the beginning of the year through midweek, and Republicans almost that much at $56 million, according to Republicans monitoring ad buys.
“We’ve kind of wound down”.
“It’s going to be nationalized”, Nehlen said of his quixotic bid to become speaker, accusing Ryan of “backstabbing our nominee”. “This means that we feel that the prospect that Democrats will have at least 51 seats is greater than the odds of a tied Senate, or of Republicans somehow holding their majority”. “Unlike Hillary, who has been fundraising and not out and about, he has constantly been out and about”.
