The Dick Morris Show

So let me explain the situation with Congress.

The House is really in play.

And the comments that I made in the earlier break are very important.

We have got to narrow our focus to explain what the Democrats would do if they took control of Congress.

And make this election not about Donald Trump or the economy, Make it about losing your health insurance.

Make it about unlimited immigration over the border.

Make it about letting Iran have a nuclear weapon.

Find the three or four issues that are the biggest and then focus on those.

The Senate's a different story.

The Democrats need four seats to win.

They have 53 senators, and Vance would break the tie if we get 50-50, so they need 54.

They need four seats to win.

There are two Republican incumbents who are running for re-election.

Susan Collins in Maine and in Alaska, the...

Sullivan? Sullivan, Dan Sullivan.

And both of them were having trouble, but they're now both doing well.

Collins has moved ahead of Democratic challenger Troy Jackson in a major new Maine poll.

Remember there was that maniac Graham Plattner who had the Nazi tattoo? And he dropped out of the race and they put Troy Jackson in instead.

And Jackson is a socialist.

Yeah, right.

And he lost the race for governor in Maine two years ago, primary.

But he's the best they've got, so they put him up.

But the Santa Research Institute reported Thursday that Collins now leads Jackson 49 to 46 among likely Maine voters.

That's after all the other polls had showed Jackson ahead.

So Maine looks like it's going to be okay.
