I suspect very low. Many Rs in the senate aren't even up for re-election this term.

Not exactly accurate. Only 1/3 of the Senate is up for reelection at any one time. This year that includes only 10 Dems and 24 Repubs. 34 Dems and 2 Ind. That caucus with them are not up for reelection. So definitely a chance to retake the Senate.

There are 5 or 6 Repubs that could be at significant risk.

Now that Rand Paul is gone, and Ron Paul isn't running, it's great to see Trump up there saying these things on the Republican stage. In the old days (prior elections), Ron Paul was a marginal player so tended to say his piece and get ignored, but now we have the front-runner saying these things - priceless!
I am happy with 1 & 3.

Hitting Jeb and W with 9/11 is, in my mind, below the belt. I have never believed, nor bought into any of the conspiracy theories regarding the matter. 9/11 wasn't W's fault any more than it was Clinton's fault. It just happened. Anyhoodles, and the reason I thought to respond specifically, Trump has been on TV doubling down on blaming Bush(s) for 9/11.

Obama should tell the GOP to go **** themselves and nominate someone to replace Scalia. A lame duck president has done that before and in fact it's happened about six times in history. It's not for the republicans to deny him that right

More than likely the GOP majority will shoot it down but it might be some payback for all the grief the racist, do nothing Congress has been handing him for 7 years
