Republicans will probably take the Senate. Here’s why it will be a nightmare for them. - The Washington Post
Very interesting piece about the quandary of having control of both houses, but being forced to choose between mollifying the base or seeking broader appeal.
And in 2016, the POTUS election year, there are 10 seats up in the Senate controlled by Dems. But 24 controlled by the GOP. If the GOP paints itself into an obstructionist corner, they could lose the leadership offices before the paint dries.
