This is a good beginning...there are a few more Lunk Heads that need to go as well.....watch out for the BOGUS REPUBLICAN ELECTIONS and PHONY ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES!
10 Republican Senators That Will Probably Lose Their Seats
10. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul
Rand Paul’s stumble in the 2016 presidential race could come back to haunt him come November, since the Democrats plan to take his seat on the Senate with vengeance. While the prospect is still slim due to Kentucky tilting to the right in recent years, Democrats are rallying behind Lexington mayor, Jim Gray in a super focused campaign to oust Paul.
9.Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson
Ron Johnson is currently sitting at the top of most people’s lists when it comes to being the most vulnerable at losing his seat. He’s most likely going to go up against Democrat Russ Feingold who’s strongly hinting at running after stepping down from the State Department. Current polls show that Johnson is not well-liked by voters and his hardcore conservatism isn’t doing him any favors.
8.Pennsylvania Senator Patrick J. Toomey
Senator Pat Toomey is likely to run against Democrat Joe Sestake once again, who lost to Toomey back in 2010. Although Sestake had a very rough start when he launched his campaign at the end of last year, it’s expected with Pennsylvania’s lean to the left, he could oust Toomey. Meanwhile, Toomey is continuing to distance himself from his Tea Party poster boy image by working with Democrats on budgeting concerns and gun control laws.
7. New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte
The GOP is beginning to show its nervousness when it comes to Kelly Ayotte retaining her seat in the Senate, and have already begun to run ads against New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan who may run in 2016. While there’s been no official campaign announcement yet, Republicans believe Ayotte would be hard to remove. However, if the governor runs, it could be a very tight race.
6. Ohio Senator Rob Portman
The former Ohio governor is not considered at the top of the list of senators who could lose their seat, however Democratic candidate Ted Strickland deciding to run could give the current Senator a run for his money. The Democrats are hoping to paint Portman as someone bought by Wall Street, however if Clinton wins the state, it could be hard for the Democrats to oust Portman since his views align with Clinton.
5. Arizona Senator John McCain
Many have tried to oust Senator John McCain who’s held his seat in the Senate for what some consider “far too long” however none have been able to win against him. Democrat, Ann Kirkpatrick, hopes to change all that by running against McCain who is going for his sixth-term in 2016. Currently, he holds a 9% lead over the other candidates, though this could change as we see how the presidential election shapes up in the next few months.
4. North Carolina Senator Richard M. Burr
One of the biggest obstacles for Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina is he’s not very well known. On top of that, North Carolina has a fractured media market which makes it hard for any candidate to campaign effectively. This may be to the Democrats advantage this year who plan to put former Senator Kay Hagan (D) up against Burr. Time will tell if she has what it takes to oust him.
3. Missouri Senator Roy Blunt
The one thing that Senator Roy Blunt has going for him right now is he’s a hard worker and he knows how to run a tough campaign. However, the Democrats hope to reclaim his seat by putting up Missouri Secretary of State, Jason Kander against him in November. It’s going to be a tough one for Kander to win, however; depending on the presidential election it could swing in his favor.
2. Illinois Senator Mark S. Kirk
Senator Mark Kirk is only in his first term and has worked extremely hard to bolster his bipartisan credentials within the Senate, even going as far as backing same-sex marriage. However, the Democrats are hoping to kick Kirk out by supporting Tammy Duckworth in an effort to avoid an expensive primary. An Iraq veteran, who lost both of her legs in the war, Duckworth’s experience completely undermines any of Kirk’s military credentials and since she’s likely to harbor a sympathy vote, he should start sweating just a bit.
1. Florida Senator Marco Rubio
The fact that Marco Rubio is running for president should be enough to think he’ll lose his seat in the 2016 elections, however Rubio is not planning to give up so easily. While many have called for him to concede his seat due to his presidential run, it seems Rubio wants a backup plan in case he doesn’t win the nomination. Currently, Democrats Alan Grayson and Patrick Murphy of Congress are both vying for his seat, while House Republicans David Jolly and Ron DeSantis are also launching campaigns.
