One thing Dems are reminicent about is that Reid; in alot of instances didnt fight hard enough against the GOP on.  Laid down on expecially CROMNIBUS.

One thing Schumer wont be is passive.

Dems path to majority is cleay FL, WI, IL and take out either Toomey or Portman.

"Murray is no shoo-in this time around." She survived 2010, she will have to make a valiant effort to lose in 2016.

"Democrats hope that Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa) or Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) could prove vulnerable, but it’s not very likely." Obviously anything other than safe R for incumbents is very unlikely in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania...

"And don’t forget — as Democrats tend to — Washington state." Yes, where Republicans have not won a Senatorial election since 1994 and Gubernatorial election since 1980.

"It's hard to see Wisconsin electing Feingold." Literally no words.

The only thing he got right is that Florida is a 50-50 tossup.

If Hassan jumps in FL or OH wont be that much of a target.

But Pa and CO are in flux; as well.

LOL, that had to be one of the most lame-brain political articles I've ever read!  

Wisconsin just elects Tammy Baldwin to the Senate in 2012...the first openly gay Senator ever, but a progressive white male named Russ Feingold? No chance according to Dick Morris

Then comparing all the Senators up for election to how they did in 2010...as if 2010 is the new normal for all elections,  I guess according to Morris there's nowhere to go but up for the GOP from 2010

Kirk's effort to sanction Iran is gonna save him in Illinois apparently,  I guess Illinois is a super war-hungry state now according to Morris.

Wow,  no wonder he was so popular on Fox News

To be fair, he was right about one thing: the 2012 result did rekindle a whole question as to why the media portrayed an easy victory (for Obama) as a nail-bitter.

I'm quite an admirer of Schumer actually. He has matured like a fine Bordeaux wine.

This is exactly what people said when Reid took over from Daschle!

Well,  Reid is from a swing state and Daschle is from a red state,  Schumer is from a solid blue state.   I'd think that would make some difference.

Since Reid retired; he is free to vote his conscience, as well as leading Minority.

Majority Leader confined him, and he had to do what he was told by administration.

Looking at votes on CROMNIBUS and on vote to lift debt ceiling, he truely didnt fight hard for his side of things.

He also predicted a Trump win the week before the election, IIRC.

Because Clinton was a scandaled Secretary of State. Now, with Russia ties, Trump is scandaled and TX, AZ and NV is the path to a Democratic majority. But, Dems do need the House and 6-10 gov mansions to reverse 2010-2014 Super GOP majorities.

People were hoping that Morris was right 0% of the time, which would mean he'd have great predictive values. But it seems to be close to 50% of the time.

Hope this prediction pans out, I am a fan of Dina Titus, Beto O'Rouke and Kysten Sinema.
