(Fetterman comes to mind) ALWAYS! To "idiot proof" a Senate win, Dems flipping a 4 seat minimum will NOT be good enough. They would need AT LEAST a pickup of 5 and probably 6. University of Virginia's professor of politics Larry Sabato with his "Sabados Crystal" has predicted Dems 53, GOP 47 after this midterms. Sabdos Crystal is well known nonpartisan online political newsletter and forecasting website. If Sabato's prediction is correct, Dems will have 52 (exclude Fetterman) vs GOP 47. I don't know that will materialize, but we shall see in a few days. Good luck to your bets, Fubah! @Europa I hope he's spot on. For AMERICA's sake, I really hope I lose that bet I made on the MAGA BADGUYS.
